Cultural identity // Emotions // Senses
Frozen water
I started the research from human emotions and sense, combining traditional and contemporary Chinese culture, then I founded that the water element has been running through both the north and south, in all aspects, of Chinese culture. Thus, Frozen Water was chosen as my title. I abstracted basic patterns from traditional Chinese handicrafts, Chinese landscape paintings, geographical textures, architectural textures, etc., and matched them with the colors of Chinese paints selected to form Chinese materials. In the space design, I continued the logic of water. Through the using of materials I’ve designed, customers can feel as if they are walking in the Chinese painting in my space. Different spaces were designed according to the flow of customers, and the materials were arranged according to a certain rhythm. The purpose of the entire space design is to bring people a sense of realism in the water.
