劇場服裝 與 印花設計Theatre Costume & Pattern Design
This collection drew inspiration upon optical illusions and identities.
Through the use of printed textiles, which I printed a total of 101 yards floral fabrics from my hand drawings, I set out to make the prints into a manner of devouring and disguise, highlighting each character's individuality or by concealing it from the viewer's eyes.
Every floral print as seen in the costumes, were all inspired by a specific flower symbolism in Oriental culture and my childhood memories.
For example, the character Pina's print is from my memories of seeing the winter black ice for the first time. Where the plum flower branches lingered through a period of first-day sublime snow, to the later days of the snowfields staining from hectic footsteps and tire tracks.
I hope to embody every character in this play, through the foreshadowing of floral prints, and through the abundantly yet devouring-kind-of-way of wrapping the performers into a cocoon.
Each character is embodied by a specific print, and each print is made into an inner outfit and an outer cape. Like peeling off the skins of an onion, the performers dress and undress themselves amidst the florals on stage, right in front of the audience's eyes.
Silhouette
Androgynous cut on the male character's trouser, whilst female characters portrayed in voluminous silhouette.
男性角色以中性服裝剪裁呈現，女性角色則以豐沛厚重的輪廓呈現。
Pattern
Hand illustrated florals Printed on sheer organza. Each print resembles the character's persona and tone of voice.
From the mother's wilted plum floral scattered across a bed of 4th day snow, to Adolf's tangled daisy fields...
此系列的印花皆以手繪的花卉圖案詮釋。
每幅印花皆象徵每位劇中角色的性格與聲音。從母親一角的枯萎梅花散落於一地的泥雪、到阿道夫一角錯綜複雜的雛菊...

Core
在藝術創作中，我經常以花卉為核心架構。然而相較繁盛的花開，我在花枝衰敗與枯萎的過程裡，總覓見更多打動自己的靈感。此次劇場服裝與印花作品，我以『人像被花卉吞噬』為出發，最初靈感來自於英國畫家約翰·艾佛雷特·米萊（John Everett Millais）的畫作《歐菲莉亞》（Ophelia ,1852）。
The Making
整體構思以印花豐沛彷彿繭蛹一般、包覆住角色為第一步，發展出一共7幅的手繪印花作品。材質選用半透明的歐干紗，一層蓋一層的數位印刷，在角色的動態間，凸顯光影搖曳下的印花層次。
每幅印花相映該角色的特性，如其中兩位角色『碧那』和『母親』，構思該角色的特性後，手繪一幅以散落於冬日烏雪泥上，被車輪胎輾壓過的梅花瓣為印花創作靈感。
每一幅花卉印花看似花團錦簇，其實裡頭不只是繁花盛開，更融入了花朵凋零的元素。
