RMIT Bachelor of Textiles (Design)

It’s alright, you don’t have to give me a chance, as I still have a lifetime to waste.” This is my favorite line from the song “Waste” by Yoga Lin. When the pandemic struck, all desires and needs were put on hold. Spending every day at home made me realize my true needs and passions. I became acutely aware of the importance of home. After cleaning the house, brewing a pot of tea just for myself became the perfect enjoyment. Just like that song lyric, a positive and relaxed feeling is both my design attitude and my life attitude. Weaving, like being a homemaker, involves repetitive work that takes a lot of time, but all these seemingly simple tasks are upheld by love.
