About X World Giysi

X World, böceklerin röntgen fotoğraflarından esinlenen kavramsal bir giysidir. Tasarım, bir böceğin dış iskeletini giyilebilir bir forma dönüştürerek kabuğu andıran katmanlı yapıları insan bedeninin üzerine yerleştirir. X World, Çin'in somut olmayan kültürel miras listesinde yer alan saray feneri zanaatı kullanılarak üretilmiştir. Çok sayıda malzeme denemesinin ardından, demir telden oluşan bir iskelet ipek gazlı bezle birleştirilmiş; hem hafif hem de esnek bir eşleşme elde edilmiştir. Giysi zarif olduğu kadar güçlüdür ve kırılganlığı geçici bir korunma biçimi olarak sunar.

Operation Flow: Vulnerability is the body's natural "airbag" that turns it into protection when we are faced with a difficult or mentally challenging situation. I think of this protection as an insect exoskeleton attached to our bodies, providing a temporary sense of security. I made this "exoskeleton" into clothes. It's beautiful and fragile, thin and tough.
