Huihui Hu — Parsons Festival 2022

Collection

NATURE = HUMAN

Feeding the whole world needs enormous resources. The improvement in technology leads our nature to a more efficient system.

In my thesis, I m going to use the elements in the nature: Wood, Water, and, Earth, to depict the relationship between the universe and people.

Resarch

Starch can be made from CO2 which help reduce poverty, the electric cars are taking over traditional cars faster than we expected.

Human development and sustainability are like two objects on the balance. I believe a equilibrium point will finally be made.

Image: Thus, I want to combine them with the shapes from calculus to create my whole collection, bring artificial and nature together. In this way, I elaborate my understanding of the balance between human beings and the universe.

Science

We invented calculus, to help us better understand the universe.

I used the geometric shapes from the calculus coordinates to show the technological part of human beings.

Image: I ask my Maths minored friend: Tommy Huang, to work with the function and coordinates

In depth design process

I get my sketches by collaging the ruffles and the geometric shapes together.
I combine the virtual and realistic experiment together to get the very precise data for pattern making.

Nature

I did lots of experiment to get sustainable textile.
My textile mainly used ice dye technique, which I belive shows the nature part in my thesis.
The comparison of the three ice dye process are under the control variable methods.
In this way, I learn how to get different texture.

In order to get different colors, I add rusty liquid to my ice dye process.

I also make texilte from paper. Paper is made from Wood, which is another very important natural element other than water.
