It occurred to me that I could learn from the process of finding suitable media and understand the feelings that these media brought about in me.
What does the women pursuit of external beauty?
Such as makeup, shoes, bags, jewelry, hats, clothes and glasses.
Why choose a hat?
This has its roots in history - the 17th century had obvious class divisions, but the 20th century saw a change in concepts – women could also wear hats. Designs became more and more flamboyant - I hope for a return to the simpler side.
Hat material
Commonly used media such as leather, denim, canvas, animal hair, bamboo weave, artificial fiber, cotton cloth, plant fibers.
I discovered loofah one day when I was washing dishes. It occurred to me that it would be a good material to use for artistic creation, so I started to find out where it came from.
Imitate the top half of the bowler hat and the brim portion of the baseball cap. The hat has a design similar to that of a handle, and the metaphor can be revealed at any time regardless of how it is disguised. When you go out wearing a hat, you can also show off your sophistication. The plant fiber can also be breathable and can keep you cool.
The loofah is not picked until after maturity, until the surface is dried and turned brown. The dried loofah is taken out of the dried pulp, only the plant fiber is left and like someone taking off a mask and revealing the truest inner heart.
Loofah is like the most pure and simple side of everyone's heart. This hat design boldly uses loofah cloth which can be seen clearly. Wearing the hat takes on a metaphorical meaning: people can cover up their shortcomings, just like they can block out sunshine, but only for a while. They can be exposed at any time.
