A Colour Combo For 'Now'
In this sample, I was exploring a colour combination that is most related to the contemporary time, that means, something that will remind people from 'our' time, that's why I chose a strong contrast of neon yellow and grey with a tint of purple.

I was planning to invite people to hand stitch anything they want on this tapestry.

Some of them told me they found it relaxing. I’m aiming to invite more people to join in. See it as a therapeutic way to release stress.

No.14: Peeled Skin / Scars
This 2.5m hand-loomed piece is a free-hand outcome. When I was sitting in front of the looming machine, I was thinking of bleeding scars. It’s because confession to people is like peeling off the hidden parts. It is uncomfortable because it’s facing the scary beasts under their own force. I think like how people dealing with scars, exposure is the first step to get cured. So I was planning to use 3D beading with a combination of bright red Czech seed beads and bugle beads to highlight those ‘scars’. My intention is to encourage people who are or used to suffer. For those who walk it through, those sparkling beads are a celebration for their courage and tough-ness. For those struggling, I hope they can see it as a delicate fire. From the technical perspective, that is also the reason why I chose a relatively dark red because I wanted to get closer to the colour of dried blood. The actual colour of the yarn is actually very bright and vibrant, however, because we have a dark warp, the colour is significantly toned down.
