YEAR 3
IN NTU
In the third year, I have completed five complete projects, and the output of the five projects is quite diverse, including branding, photography books, small sculptures, installations, video images, packaging design, AR posters, etc.
Project 1
DAMA
Most people nowadays complain every day about why they are so fat and want to lose weight, but like not exercising and not eating in moderation, but then start regretting it when they realize they can't fit into those nice clothes. My mother is one of those people who, probably because she is slowly getting older or because she is not eating in moderation every day, is getting fatter by the day, hanging on to the desire to lose weight and struggling every day because she can't fit into nice clothes.
I want to do a project to relieve the body anxiety of middle-aged people, to tell them not to think about losing weight every day, not to put a lot of pressure on themselves, the pressure of daily chores is already very high, don't let weight loss weigh you down, chubby can actually be cute and sexy, and can also be dressed beautifully and fashionably.
Project 2
Wushan Flower & Bird Market
Wushan Flower Bird Market is a small collection of shops carrying a special humanistic and grounded merchandise area, close to Hefang Street and Hangzhou City God Temple, where many types of goods are sold, including pets, flowers, wormwood and jade. Wushan Flower Bird Market may not be able to keep up with the current times in terms of shop design, or perhaps it is not convenient enough to buy, and is slowly being forgotten by the young people of today, but it has a value of existence, being a memory of the old Hangzhou people, and meeting the needs of the elderly. It is hoped that through a series of redesign, Wushan Flower and Bird City will be filled with freshness and modernity, and designed to highlight the unique features of Wushan Flower Bird Market so that more young people will be attracted to it.
Project 3
Losing X
I have found that more and more young people are experiencing sensory hearing loss, perhaps due to technological advances or perhaps due to selective human shielding. I will conduct in-depth research and experiments based on this phenomenon. On the one hand, due to technology, the fragmented sounds of life have become noisier, making people unconsciously ignore some of the sounds in their environment. On the other hand, the complexity of society makes people want to block out some of the hypocrisy of socializing. Both of these factors contribute to the loss of sensory hearing.
Project 4
Me and Social Phobia
I have a slight social phobia and I feel very uncomfortable whenever I am in a crowded place, but my parents and friends around me think that I am just reluctant to socialise because I am timid. Whenever this happens, I want to tell them that I am afraid of socialising because I have a social phobia, not because I am timid. So through this project I want to introduce social fears to more people so that they can understand and appreciate them.
Apart from making people aware, I often imagine what it would be like if there was a country or a small space or a small installation where people with social fears could live comfortably.
Project 5
Information Cocoon
The term "information cocoon" is becoming more and more commonplace in the Internet and in every aspect of life, such as shopping, food, transportation and entertainment. People may notice or feel the existence of this phnomenon, but they may not have a clear understanding of it.
Through this project, I will start with the four aspects of 'shopping, food, housing and transport' and present them in an ar way so that people can have a better understanding of the phenomenon of the information cocoon.
