# Project Description Haptic Time Bingqing Li Summary Final work I'm Bingqing Li, and my undergraduate background is in jewellery design. During my postgraduate studies, I have focused my practice on artefact-based wearable works that combine the language of jewellery with natural materials, while integrating principles of art therapy into accessories. Through tactile interaction and bodily engagement, my work aims to evoke emotional soothing and moments of calm in daily life. In the future, I hope to continue exploring the relationship between natural materials and bodily, tactile interaction, further developing the role of art therapy within wearable practices.

College London College of Fashion Course MA Fashion Artefact Graduation year 2025 This project explores slowness as a bodily and sensory experience within an efficiency-driven digital culture. Responding to conditions of time anxiety, sensory overload, and accelerated attention shaped by mobile phones and constant information flow, the project proposes tactile interaction as a form of digital detox and temporal resistance. Rather than understanding slowness as an abstract ideal, the work reframes it as a lived rhythm that can be reactivated through touch, repetition, and material engagement. Drawing on biophilic design and practices of sensory regulation, the artefacts encourage lingering, rhythmic interaction that gradually slows perception and restores inner calm. The project comprises a series of wearable and handheld artefacts made from natural materials including eucalyptus pods, bodhi beads, and Crescentia cujete. Through carving, drilling, polishing, and cold-connection techniques, the components remain movable and responsive to touch. Texture, weight, temperature, and repetitive handling transform these objects into tools for re-perceiving time, reconnecting the body with its own pace and rhythm.
