# Project Description Ashes Bloom — Soft Immortality Yinuo Nie Summary Final work Yinuo Nie is a London-based textile designer with a focus on knit and a cross-disciplinary approach. Her work draws on philosophy, science, and Eastern culture, exploring themes such as the cycles of life, perception of time, and consciousness. She values sustainable materials and intuitive processes, often working between handcraft and machine to find a unique rhythm. She sees textiles as a medium that connects the body, the mind, and a deeper sense of time and existence.

College Central Saint Martins Course BA (Hons) Textile Design Graduation year 2025 This project began from a persistent question I couldn’t let go of: does energy continue to move after death? I kept returning to the image of the pomegranate in The Color of Pomegranates—bursting, decaying, yet quietly suggesting a new beginning. At the same time, I was drawn to the ancient Chinese jade burial suits, made to protect the soul beyond death. These symbols—pomegranate, jade, and microbes—gradually formed the visual language through which I began to understand the relationship between endings and continuation. In the process of making, I started to see the end of life not as a halt, but as a transformation—energy breaking down, releasing, and returning in a different form. I worked with bio-materials that felt alive: fragile, breathable, and easily degradable. Combining laser-cut bio-fabric with knitted structures, I built soft spatial forms that follow a slow spiral rhythm—stretching, contracting, unraveling, and reforming. Each shape responds to my curiosity about the invisible processes behind death: decay, microbial migration, and the circulation of energy. This project does not aim to answer what eternal life is. Instead, it offers an atmosphere, a texture, and a quiet question: perhaps, an ending never truly happens.
