Focusing mainly on research and idea development based on the theme 'Human Mimicry,' which explores the formalisation of humanity and demolishing of features after the Industrial Revolution.

Final work

Above is a research page of portfolio exploring the visual relationship of a robotic figure and a human figure by extending the robotic structure.

Maria and Human

In the movie ‘Metropolis’, Maria represent the impact of industrialism. Here I tried to explore the visual relationship of human and the robotic image of Maria.

On the left there is a stretched image of sheep. On the right there is a stretch tee shirt. And there are lines connecting the tension points.

Stretch

By stretching a tee shirt the wearers feature under it are invisible making people with same silhouette.

On the left there is a tore and stitched image of jeans. On the right there is a 3D experiment on jeans.

Disruptive Jeans

Jeans with a huge opening that deconstruct the jeans representing the disruptive effects of industrialism.

On the left there is a collage of a back view of a man and fabrics that mimics the wings. On the right there is a collage showing the concept.

Fly Jacket

Using the concept of fly’s blind spot, I designed a jacket that shows fabrics is two forms. Naturally draped (before industrialism) and strongly structured (after industrialism).

Research and process

On the left it is Malin Bülow’ performance art which there is a performer inside a stretchy suit folding himself. On the right it is my own research.

Silhouette and movement

Inspired by Malin Bülow’s performance art, I explored how silhouette of human can be unrecognisable in movement.

On the left is a flies spray and on the right is a collage of a man’s and a fly’s head.

Fly’s Lens

If we are each lens of the fly’s eyes, we will have the same blind spot as the fly do. We are the same without our own vision.
