I am a textile designer exploring impermanence, memory, and the beauty of the incomplete. Inspired by my family’s Jingdezhen porcelain heritage and traditional Chinese aesthetics, I merge ancient motifs with contemporary textile techniques. 
Through embellishments, embroidery, and natural dyes, I translate fragmented histories and personal memories into tactile, evocative works.































“Everything Flows, and Nothing Stays.”



Inspired by Heraclitus’s philosophy that “everything flows, and nothing stays,” this collection embraces impermanence, nostalgia, and the beauty of imperfections. Drawing from ancient temples, Buddha sculptures, broken porcelain, and personal memories, I translate these fragments into layered prints, embroidery, silk, and natural dyes. Each piece captures traces of the past in contemporary form — preserving fleeting beauty and transforming it into something enduring.





















Through photography, I collect moments of quiet beauty — coloured Buddha statues, intricate wood carvings, ancient temple murals, and the divine animals that embody timeless spirituality. The old houses of Jingdezhen and forgotten treasures in antique markets draw me in, each carrying stories of the past. My photographs aim to preserve these details and textures, capturing fragments of history and memory before they fade.
