- SHANSHUI WOMEN | 山水女人-
This collection is a tapestry woven from the threads of my family's story and the vibrant hues of my Chinese heritage. In the verses of ancient Chinese poetry, I discovered a trove of wisdom—lessons on integrity, courage, and diligence that echo through the corridors of my memory. My mother, a beacon of strength, independence, and wisdom, ignited the fire of ambition within me.
Returning to China after years away, I found inspiration in my father's latest artwork, his delicate micro-engravings on traditional Chinese fan bones. Each stroke stirred memories of childhood dreams and the guiding light of my mother's love.

Back at Parsons, I embarked on a journey of exploring textile engraving and ink painting. My designs marry modern technology with age-old techniques, blending raster engraving techniques with hand-painted Shanshui landscapes—a collaboration with my father, a celebration of our heritage, and a testament to the enduring power of aspiration.
