The Trajectory is a project that looks at the physical relationship between the pedestrian bridge space and pedestrians by considering the pedestrian bridge as an enclosed space. The background of this project comes from a circular overpass with a special structure that I pass by on my way to school every day.
Therefore, I regarded this overpass as a closed space, observed the behavioral trajectories and directions of people passing on this overpass, and explored the physical relationships of pedestrians on the overpass in this closed space, such as behavioral movements, movement trajectories and directions.
In the end, I decided to use book design to process the visual elements and pedestrians on the overpass, and use different design forms of books to express the structure and space of the overpass and their relationship.
The source of inspiration for this project is that I went to university in Macau, a place with a special geographical and political position, but because I thought it would be difficult to freely enter and exit this place after graduation, I never felt belonging to this strange and familiar place.
I often pretend to be an outsider, and once the four years are up, I become a complete outsider. In order to find identity and a sense of belonging in this small island, I chose three bus lines that have different meanings to me, and use the bus to experience this place and record the different aspects of this place.
In the end, I used the photos and video materials I took while taking the bus as materials, and carried out a visual experiment by making posters. And I made an experimental video based on a change in my inner feelings when I took the bus.
The source of inspiration for this project is that since I was a child, I found that I could not control my tears when I was emotional, and adults always have a deep stereotype of tears, and every time I cry, they accuse me. of being worthless or Not strong enough.
So by collecting and recording every different type of tears, I found that tears are actually just an externall expression of emotions, and it is one of the ways we vent our emotions.
In the end, I used the collected tears to make a book containing different types of tears and emotions, and 3D printed masks, jewelry and necklaces based on teardrops.
The background of this project is that I have an Abebe that has been with me for a long time. The reason is that because my parents are busy at work, I have been insecure since I was a child. As I grow older, my dependence on her has not diminished. So I found that a large part of the reason why I relied on Abebe so much was because of the lack of security and familiarity.
Through second-hand research, I discovered that many people like me now have a companion doll, Abebe, to make up for their lack of security and familiarity. Their abebes all have different shapes, but the only thing they have in common is that they are weather-beaten and dilapidated but have been preserved by others.
So I wanted to create an Abebe brand store to give people with similar experiences and needs a space of comfort, and customize unique soaps for them based on their mother's scent to clean and maintain Abebe.
