(Jacquard woven, Programmed by Pointcarre)
Read More
This Jacquard-woven piece is a continued exploration of a foldable origami-inspired geometric shape that I worked on in an earlier project. By experimenting with the weave structure during programming and through the design of the file itself, I was able to create a gradation effect. The gradation can be read from multiple directions, encouraging viewers to slow down and observe the details of the woven structure and the order of the gradient.
Interestingly, once the piece was taken off the loom, the back side revealed an unexpected phenomenon. Due to the looser weave structure used in the back side and the nature of the polyester and rayon yarn, the longer individual weft floats naturally blended colors in a whimsical way. These unpredictable color illusions brought a sense of movement and fluidity to the otherwise rigid geometric pattern, making it feel more alive.

This piece is a continuation inspired by When the Light Was Still On. Rather than focusing solely on experimenting with geometric pattern and order, this work also references the privacy glass around the studio space.
As an observer, I’m drawn to man-made structures and systems particularly architectural forms. What captivates me most are the moments when natural phenomena interact with these constructed environments. The boundaries of order are subtly disrupted by nature’s presence, yet the traces it leaves behind are so delicate that the original structure remains legible. This coexistence of fragility and structure is what I aim to capture.
While programming this piece, I reorganized the layout of the geometric pattern according to a new internal logic. I introduced a six-weft structure to achieve more nuanced color variations, mimicking the textures, light, and shadow found on glass surfaces.

This piece was inspired by a conversation I had with my father about a water tower in Shenyang, the city where I grew up. It was a new experience for me to reference a specific piece of architecture that I am not physically familiar with, yet feel deeply connected to on an emotional level.
According to my father, the water tower was once one of the most iconic landmarks in Shenyang during his childhood. However, as more skyscrapers were built around it, the tower gradually faded from public attention. Today, it remains standing—overlooked and squeezed between modern buildings, a relic that was never torn down but slowly forgotten.
Although I’ve only visited the water tower once a long time ago, the emotional resonance it holds continues to inspire me. That energy led me to create this abstracted, geometric woven piece as a way to translate that intangible feeling into a physical narrative.
