This project is a deconstruction of citrus peels. Through my observation, most citrus peels have tiny bubbles on the surface. So I cut orange peels into tiny pieces. For each bubble on the bubble sheet, I inserted one piece into it while the peels are still fresh and soft. Then the peels dry out and become rigid inside the bubbles, creating a rustling sound when the sheet moves.

In a waste paper box, we inserted layers of cut paper and layered leaves and twigs on top to create a sense of depth. In the center gap among the layers of leaves, we left space for a micro box stuffed with scented cloth. And in the back of the large cardboard box, we glued one translucent tracing paper, and lighting form its back to create a twilight effect.

This pair of wearable nail covers shows a magical girl with a double personality. During the daytime, she is a cute and kind high school student. At night, she is a witch who like dark style, and maybe perform black magic secretly. She like those intense and dangerous practice. So we decided to make to scents for this piece. For her daytime personality, we use floral and fruity scents. For night personality, it is full of thick and choking smoky woody scents.

The background information of this work is a medieval exorcism ritual. Our research began with a collection of religiously related exorcism formations. In the Middle Ages, in order to destroy evil things, people would collect these things and then destroy them in front of a crowd. During this process, religious people would hold sage to perform purification rituals.

This work is inspired by the concept of wasteland punk. After a world war, you become the only survivor. You know you can hardly survive in such a desperate world. But the survival instinct of creatures forces you to create such a refuge for yourself to live. You kept cycling in a state of madness over calmness. You keep feeling extremely scared and want to seek refuge from others. So you draw all the religious motifs in your head on the shelter tent. You hope that the invisible gods will bless you to live. The tent is plastered with maps and pictures of what once was with the patterns of faith. They are your faith and spiritual reliance while living inside the tent.

Based on my research about bamboo, there are two Chinese myth stories about tears. I combine the interesting elements, which are tears, death(or near death) and medicine, from the stories into this project.

It is a clay bamboo joint, inside is a plastic medicine bottle filled with scented dry bamboo leaves. The black dripping mark at the interface represents the tears from both stories. All main characters cry for death-related reasons, so I painted the tears mark in black.
