Artist Statement

"Up Here" is a 2021 fashion collection featuring four intricate garments inspired by the theme of ethereality. The designs combine muted tones with layers of diaphanous lace, chiffon, and pearls, evoking imagery of both aquatic and celestial realms. This project stemmed from my ambition to explore creativity and develop a new skill—learning tailoring during the winter break. I was drawn to the expressive potential of fabric, fascinated by its ability to interact with the human form and create art in motion.


To bring this vision to life, I handpicked fabrics from the vibrant markets of Sham Shui Po, Hong Kong, transforming abstract concepts into tangible designs. The collection’s distinct aesthetic earned it a feature on the school magazine cover, leading to collaborative photoshoots with models and photographers. This project exemplifies my ability to translate ideas into various mediums, extending my creative practice beyond my primary focus on user experience design.
