I TSEN TSENG

Shih Chien University

I’m currently a university student, and I’ve been deeply involved in fashion design studies for the past five years, starting from high school. Throughout this time, I’ve built a solid foundation in design and garment construction, while gradually developing my own aesthetic and sense of style. During my academic journey, I’ve actively taken part in hands-on fashion courses and project-based work, and I’m passionate about every step—from concept development to final execution. Looking ahead, I hope to continue refining my skills, merging creativity with practicality to create designs that are not only expressive but also carry warmth and a story.

Silent Devour

外來物種像藤蔓悄然攀附、滲透並侵蝕台灣的原生環境。 本次作品以「纏繞」、「束縛」為結構語言,模擬寄生體蔓延、生長與吞噬的過程。扭曲的形態象徵基因層面的侵蝕與重組,呈現原生秩序逐步遭到侵占與扭改的狀態。色彩深綠與灰白的對比,隱喻自然系統的失衡與本土文化的消逝,引發對隱性侵略的深層省思。 Invasive species silently cling to, penetrate, and erode Taiwan's native environment like vines. This work uses "winding" and "binding" as structural languages to simulate the processes of parasitic spread, growth, and consumption.Distorted forms symbolize erosion and recombination at the genetic level, showing a gradual encroachment and alteration of the original order. The contrast between deep green and gray-white colors metaphorically highlights the imbalance in natural systems and the disappearance of Taiwanese culture, prompting deep reflection on implicit aggression.
