本作品以「RE:COCOON」為主題，從皮革永續與生命轉化的觀點出發，重新思考材料的價值。皮革常在使用後被視為完成品，最終走向廢棄，但我認為它仍承載時間、記憶與生命痕跡，應被視為持續轉化中的存在。設計透過回收皮革的拆解、重組與包覆，使材料回到如蛹般被保護與孕育的狀態，象徵再生的起點。同時，以袋包為載體，結合人體蜷縮、抱膝的姿態，呼應人在疲憊與低潮時的自我包覆與修復。作品名稱中的「RE」代表Recycle、Rethink、Return，強調從再利用、再思考到回歸本質的過程。此作品不僅關注材料循環，更試圖傳達成長與蛻變的心理狀態，讓被遺棄的材料與情緒，都能重新被理解並持續前行。 This work, titled "RE:COCOON" explores sustainability and transformation through the perspective of leather. Leather is often considered a finished material after use, eventually becoming waste. However, I see it as something that carries time, memory, and traces of life-still existing in a state of transformation. Through deconstruction, reconstruction, and wrapping of reclaimed leather, the material is returned to a cocoon-like state of protection and renewal, symbolizing the beginning of rebirth. The bag serves as the medium, reflecting the human posture of curling up—an act of rest, protection, and self-repair during moments of exhaustion or uncertainty. The "RE" in the title stands for Recycle, Rethink, and Return, representing a process of reusing materials, re-evaluating their value, and returning them to a transformative state. This work not only addresses material sustainability, but also expresses emotional growth-embracing the past and moving forward with it.
