Tainan University of Technology

I am a design-focused creator with a strong passion for material exploration and emotional storytelling. My work centers on the intersection of craftsmanship and contemporary aesthetics, often drawing inspiration from nature, floral forms, and the subtle tension between softness and structure. I enjoy translating abstract concepts—such as intimacy, restraint, and vulnerability—into tangible design pieces through thoughtful material selection and composition. My creative process emphasizes detail, texture, and balance. I frequently work with a diverse range of materials, including leather, metal, ceramics, fibers, and natural elements, combining them to create layered and meaningful designs. I am particularly interested in how materials can convey emotion—how the warmth of leather contrasts with the coolness of metal, or how organic forms interact with structured frameworks. Beyond aesthetics, I value narrative-driven design. Each project I create carries a conceptual foundation, allowing the audience to connect with the piece on both a visual and emotional level. I am constantly seeking to refine my skills, expand my creative language, and explore new ways of integrating art, design, and craftsmanship into cohesive and expressive works.

和克制 這件作品結合了玫瑰與頸圈,象徵愛與克制之間的矛盾關係。 玫瑰象徵情感的綻放與脆弱,而頸圈則象徵控制與依附——其中蘊含保護與束縛的雙重意義。 皮革被選為主要材料,以強調情感的重量與真實性。 與金屬的冰冷或布料的脆弱不同,皮革介於強度與柔軟之間——映照出親密關係的本質。 在中央,玫瑰看似完全綻放,卻被結構化的形態包圍著。 這反映了親密中的張力:渴望被擁抱,以及可能被限制的可能性。 ⸻ 材料組成 核心元素 * 玫瑰與頸圈:霧面或輕度拋光皮革 支援細節 * 精細鏈條與飾品:純銀或鍍銀金屬 為皮革的溫暖增添了微妙的冷感對比 * 外層珠子: * 黑曜石 — 深沉神秘的音調 * 淡水珍珠 — 柔和優雅的口音 * 或黑白對比組合 * 葉子: * 多色調的浮雕皮革以增添層次感 * 或是薄金屬板(古董黃銅/啞光銀)用於精緻化 * 中央淚滴墜飾: * 玻璃或樹脂(透明或略帶磨砂) * 或是寶石切割壓克力 概念:情感結晶的滴落 * 臍帶結構: * 蠟繩或麂皮繩 提升手工製作與有機品質
