Keyi Jiao

RMIT Bachelor of Fashion (Design)

My project "Visible unseen" took inspiration from Chinese Kungfu, which is the traditional martial art. I'm looking for the movement trail during the kungfu process, discovering the principle of energy transformation inside the body, at same time combining Yin and Yang philosophical concepts such as unity, opposites and intertransformation to form abstract wearable soft sculpture. There are different energy fields in and around the human body, called Aura. These energy fields are somewhat different colors. In the human body, the energy concentration point is something like a spiral wheel, called Chakra, The color palette and patterns of my designs come from these two concepts.
