‘Lean’ was inspired by psychological phenomena of grudgingly grouping together in social interaction. Instagram: @linyun.yu

Leon Festinger argued that people depend on social reality to determine the subject validity of their attitudes and opinions, and that they look to their reference group to establish social reality. An opinion or attitude is therefore valid to the extent that it is similar to that of the reference group-conformity.

Where would you like your work to take you?

I often find unexpected results through experiments. This is my favorite part. Random output is natural, vital, and moving. I did a project called accident training before, I collected many warm and interesting moments in life. They are all randomly generated and cannot be copied. I absorb from these events, they took me to the realm of perceptual and feeling-based area. 

Which part of your creative process do you enjoy most?

Finding the applications for the technique in my design. That is the aiming of every design: bring up the question, finding the target group, answering it. 

In the project focusing on the burn victims, my design is aimed to improve existing pressure garments with Hyaluronic Acid for burn victims. Today’s victims, they are suffered from the pain of the burn itself and the uncomfortable postoperative recovery pressure. I found a core-shell fibre based on insoluble and soluble of HA that can work as drug carrier to heal the wound bleeding during the rehabilitation exercises without detaching the pressure garment. Besides, thanks to the biocompatibility and resorbability of hyaluronan, HA can also help accelerate the wound healing, prevent adhesion and decrease scarring.Where do you draw inspiration from?

I am currently in the process of restocking my scarves, after this I would love to find the time to design something new, or even start making other pieces - clothes etc.

Where do you draw inspiration from?

Accident lives!

People I met or some artist pieces typically performance.
