Architecture Plans as Inspiration






I was visiting Guggenheim Museum and saw a post card of Guggenheim architecture plan, which

inspired me because of its geometric patterns. Then I collected other archi. plans that I found interesting.

 I think the repetition of the shapes can be a great pattern for the graphic design on the garment. 






My Favorite Artists



Four oil paintings by Egon Schiele
- I put one painting on the top of another
painting and changed their opacity, which 
creates a different effect of the look of the painting. 

- bizarre. wild, highly personal Expressionism 
in the painting medium/ Abstract- mixture 
of the landscape and nature with nudity.


Visual Communication- Drawing


Work from 2010-2011















Integrated Studio

















Japanese Fashion & Dark Art



I am inspired by Japanese  belives
. Wabi: without decoration or isible luxury
. Sabi: warping and distortion
. Ma: a rich space that possesses incalculable
energy
-Lose shapless fit maximizes the mobility and freedom of the 
body from the clothes. Also it creates a pattern of shadows by
 showing how the light and darkness and how one against 
the other. Japanese Fashion stood outside of the Norms of 
traditional European Asthetics. Commes and Yamamoto 
disfigured the ideal and erotic female silhouettes by diplacing
the parts on the body. 






The contemporary dark art inspires me because of its expression is so sensuous, intriguing and truthful. It appears grotesques, yet humorous and ironic. It blurs the border between reality and abstraction. For instance, Yuka ‘s work depicts an intimate moment between human in a bizarre situation- displaced and exposed body parts. Attorre and Nelson’s works have sometime in common- wrapping, lines, to disfigure the faces. Julien’s use of only black and white with a de-saturated pink color on the background, creating gorgeous patterns. All these artists interoperate their feelings and minds in a sober and mysterious tone ..........

... New York At Night... - Architecture




Traffic Light

I don't know why this lock attracted me so much that I set up my tripod and tried my best to capture the feeling it gave me. 

The fountain @ Lincoln Center

At a construction site

The construction site, the structure of the machine, the light bulbs fascinate me. They don't look like a dirty, chaotic place, instead, I am trying to capture a sense of magic, fairy tale appearance.

...New York At Night... - People...


 At night, people are not rushing like they are
during the day, and the long exporsure of ht ecamera setting can capture lots of 
misterious moment.

A couple are 
kissing bythe foutain at Lincoln Center. All of these picture look very blurred, in a 
beautiful, romantic way. Gravity disappears and things are flying freely in the air.

There were other photographers interested in photographing at night

 I love this staircase, standing on the top and positioning the camera to take picture 
through this structure of the people, who walked by through this structure. 

Movement

People look exhausted and stressed at night in New York. 
I took this picture secretly. The vehicle travels around the Columbus Circle left a beautiful, curved line behind this person. 

NO Smoking


Love how his face look like under the light near a construction site. Near Upper East Side in NY

....New York at Night....- The Light Painting




The Light Paintings

  I am a photographer. I especially love photographying at night after everything
becomes dark. I would carry my SLR, tripod and remote with me and start shooting
New York City at night is very different than what it is during the day, which somehow
always fasicinates and interests me. 



When I am able to see the lights traveling in air,  
they create a new element in the environment and landscape around me.
