“Bedtime Stories”

“Bedtime Stories” is inspired by my father’s stories, especially the tale behind my Chinese name. It explores the mythical Roc (Peng – 鵬) as a symbol of transformation, the infinite dreamscape (Han – 瀚), and the family forest (Lin – 林) as home and heritage. These themes shape sculptural silhouettes, symbolic surfaces, and storytelling-driven construction. By merging personal memory with cultural mythology, I aim to translate oral traditions and dream states into garments that honour the past, embody the present, and imagine a future rooted in identity.
