I started taking courses related to clothing production since my first year of high school, and it has been five years now. There always seems to be endless things to learn, like a black hole in the universe, constantly providing a sense of freshness. When I entered college, I began working with leather, which brought a new set of challenges. I am someone who enjoys novelty and challenges, and I hope to make further progress in the future.

Rebirth

Category: Accessories

Competitions: Taiwan Region

The title of the work is "Rebirth," chosen because the shape of the bag resembles a budding flower, conveying the image of striving to bloom but not yet at the right moment. The stiffness of the leather is used to create a three-dimensional arc shape for the bag, layering it to symbolize step-by-step efforts and overcoming layers of obstacles. The color chosen is a dried wood color, resembling yellowing leaves, aiming to break free from convention and transform into springtime flora.
