JUYU CHENG

I am a second-year student in Department of Creative Product Design at National Taitung Junior College. My work explores the intersection of everyday life, emotional memory, and material transformation. I often draw inspiration from familiar and comforting scenes, such as brunch culture and the gentle presence of rabbits, using soft and approachable forms to create a sense of warmth. Beneath this playful aesthetic, my design focuses on the idea of memory preservation—transforming used textiles and discarded materials into new objects that carry personal and emotional value. Through processes such as handcrafting, material recombination, and experimental construction, I aim to give overlooked materials a renewed narrative. I am particularly interested in how design can extend the life of objects while also preserving fragments of personal history. My practice is driven by a desire to reconnect people with their memories through tactile experiences. In the future, I hope to further explore sustainable material applications and develop works that balance emotional storytelling with functional design.
