我姓江,名槺耀,出生於2001年1月26日,目前就讀於台灣實踐大學高雄校區的服飾設計與經營學系二年級。我從小在馬來西亞的柔佛州長大,因此精通華、巫、英三語,還會說福建話。我的性格開朗,待人處事的態度認真且細心。 我熱愛繪畫,我從7歲開始學畫至今,促使了現在的我對色彩有一定的敏銳度以及創意發想。與此同時,我比一般人善於觀察生活中的小細節,我認為這就是我體驗人生的一種方式,也是我創作靈感的來源之一。 My name is Kang Kheng Yao and I was born on January 26th, 2001. Currently, I am a second-year student majoring in Fashion Design and Merchandising at the Kaohsiung campus of Shih Chien University in Taiwan. I grew up in Johor, Malaysia, and I am fluent in Chinese, Malay, and English, and I can also speak Hokkien. I have an outgoing personality and approach people and tasks with a serious and meticulous attitude. Drawing has been my passion since I was 7 years old, which has honed my sensitivity to color and my ability to generate creative ideas. At the same time, I have a keen eye for details in daily life, which I believe is a way for me to experience life and a source of inspiration for my creative work.

「Tafoni 蝕·孔」作品的靈感來源於大自然的產物 —— 侵蝕孔;風化穴。在岩石質地較為堅硬的地區,因為外在力量的推動(如風力、波浪等),推動小顆粒的物質持續的對岩石進行打磨,長期作用下來將堅硬的岩石磨出一個至數個大小不同的孔狀構造。岩石因差異風化而在其表面產生圓形、橢圓形或矩形、格子狀凹陷洞穴,通常稱為蜂窩洞,亦有名為侵蝕孔、風化穴、風化窗等。若為矩形或格子狀者又稱為石網或石。 「Tafoni 蝕·孔」作品的設計理念是將大自然最原始的形態與輪廓表現在鞋子設計上。採用侵蝕孔的構造與自然紋理,仿造出一個具有生命力、份量感的鞋子設計。 The inspiration behind the “Tafoni” shoe design is derived from the natural occurrence of weathered holes or porous formations on rocks, known as erosion holes or weathering caves. In areas where the rock is relatively hard, external forces such as wind and waves push small particles continuously against the rock, resulting in the long-term creation of one or multiple holes of different sizes. Due to differential weathering, the rock surface develops circular, elliptical, rectangular, or grid-shaped depressions, commonly referred to as honeycomb, erosion holes, weathering caves, or weathering windows. If the depressions are rectangular or grid-shaped, they are also known as mesh or lattice. The design philosophy of the “Tafoni” shoe is to showcase the primal form and contour of nature in the shoe design. By utilizing the structure and natural texture of erosion holes, the shoe design imitates a lively and substantial appearance.
