来看你THE VISIT

《来看你》灵感源自“Hiraeth”——一种对失去之物深切却无能为力的怀念。设计尝试探讨：当过去不可回溯、情绪无法被抚平，我们如何用鞋履这样一种承载身体的媒介，去表达这种失控的回望。 作品选用皮革边角料为主材，采用水洗做旧的黄灰色与重灰色处理，模拟时间的冲刷与情绪的风化，同时保证这些不同种类的皮革原料拥有统一的颜色。鞋面以枯萎花瓣造型拼贴重组，红线缝合贯穿全鞋，如同反复缝补却无法愈合的旧伤。结构上将常规鞋跟替换为拐杖式支撑部件，鞋底割裂错位，象征在“不完整中前行”的状态。 《来看你》不仅关乎个人情感，也隐喻了人类与自然的关系：我们总是在失去之后才意识到珍贵。作品通过零浪费切割、模块化结构、材料再生与显性缝合等方式，呈现一种温和而坚定的可持续姿态——既缝合记忆，也延续材料的生命。 我把《来看你》看作是对一段时光的回望，也是一场对“不可逆失去”的纪念与回应。 "THE VISIT" is inspired by "Hiraeth" - a deep but helpless nostalgia for lost things. The design attempts to explore: when the past cannot be traced back and emotions cannot be soothed, how can we use shoes, a medium that carries the body, to express this uncontrolled retrospection. The work uses leather scraps as the main material, and uses washed yellow-gray and heavy gray treatments to simulate the erosion of time and the weathering of emotions, while ensuring that these different types of leather materials have a unified color. The upper is reorganized in the shape of withered petals, and red stitching runs through the entire shoe, like an old wound that has been repeatedly mended but cannot healed. In terms of structure, the conventional heel is replaced with a crutch-like support component, and the sole is split and misplaced, symbolizing the state of "moving forward in incompleteness". "THE VISIT" is not only about personal emotions, but also a metaphor for the relationship between humans and nature: we always realize the preciousness after losing it. The work presents a gentle and firm sustainable attitude through zero-waste cutting, modular structure, material recycling and explicit stitching - both stitching memories and extending the life of materials. I regard "THE VISIT" as a look back at a period of time, and also a commemoration and response to "irreversible loss".
