《清明城市链 River City Link》以张择端《清明上河图》为灵感来源，但不直接复刻古画中的人物、建筑或船只，而是提取其中“桥、街巷、河流、人群与城市流动”的关系，将古代城市秩序转化为一件可佩戴的现代皮革首饰。作品以灰绿色、雾黑色、米白色牛皮为主体，通过激光刻线、地图纹压印、余料小片拼接和可拆扣件，形成类似桥梁与街道交错的细长结构。珍珠作为可移动模块，象征人群、灯火与城市记忆，在身体上形成流动的视觉节奏。作品可作为长胸针、项链或身体链多种方式佩戴，体现从古代城市长卷到当代身体网络的转译。材料上以牛皮为主要可视结构，占整体表面积约70%，结合淡水珍珠、古铜色金属件与手缝线，强调真皮材料的柔韧性、耐用性、可修复性与可持续价值。 "River City Link" is inspired by Zhang Zeduan's painting Along the River During the Qingming Festival, yet it does not directly replicate the figures, architecture, or boats in the ancient scroll. Instead, it extracts the relationships among bridges, streets, waterways, crowds, and urban flow, translating the order of an ancient city into a wearable contemporary leather jewelry piece. The work primarily uses grey‑green, mist‑black, and off‑white cowhide, employing laser engraving, map‑pattern embossing, patchwork assembly from remnant leather pieces, and detachable fasteners to create an elongated structure reminiscent of intersecting bridges and thoroughfares. Pearls serve as movable modules, symbolizing people, lantern light, and urban memory, generating a flowing visual rhythm across the body. The piece can be worn as a long brooch, necklace, or body chain, embodying a translation from an ancient city scroll to a contemporary body network. In terms of materials, cowhide constitutes the primary visible structure, accounting for approximately 70% of the total surface area, combined with freshwater pearls, antique‑bronze metal fittings, and hand‑stitched threads. The design emphasizes the flexibility, durability, repairability, and sustainable value of leather.
