Printing patterns on fabric was an idea that came to me on the fly, but I really wanted to put it into practice, but I didn't know where to get to a fabric printing studio in the UK, so I urgently printed it from the factory in China and asked a friend to bring it back to the UK

I didn't have much time to do much research and experimentation on this “accidental” idea. In the future, I will be careful with my schedule and try to record all the ideas in the early stages of research and evaluate the possible directions of development.

At this point it has developed into an interactive piece, when the audience stands in these fabrics, they touch the skin, wrapping and caressing, suggesting that we have grown up, and that the oppres- sion and confinement that represents our mother's love will slowly become a part of our memories as we grow up and mature, and that even though it still exists, we have become strong enough to resist it, and have learned to understand and tolerate it.

I want to continue to develop it afterward. I already have a rough plan, I will try different fabrics, pick the most suitable one and print a big piece of cloth, then drape it down from top to bottom, like a waterfall, octopus and tentacles pouring down from above, people standing underneath, if you look up there's a kind of oppression, but the fabric is very thin and light, very transparent, it's just like a dream, of course, I want to express the concepts and ideas and the same as what I just said! Of course, the concept and idea is the same as what I have just mentioned, but works with a large volume will always give people a visual impact and shock to the mind.

After the tutorial, angela and I checked the quality and size of my work, he said that A2 is a bit too much, one person only has an A2 size place to display, so I need to make my work smaller, I chose A3 size tracing paper, I made an appointment for digital print, and used more professional equipment to print

In my journey of illustration, I've explored diverse avenues, reveling in the boundless creativity it offers. Beyond traditional painting, I've delved into commercial illustration and product design, enriching my skills and expanding my interests. Experimenting with bold color combinations in postcards and dabbling in 3D modeling has added depth and dimension to my work. I'm eager to integrate 3D elements into my illustrations, enhancing their spatial quality and visual impact.

Yet, amidst the excitement, I've encountered challenges, particularly in time management and refining my work to its fullest potential. Despite a flurry of ideas, inadequate scheduling often leaves my projects unfinished or below par, a source of frustration. Recognizing the importance of better time management and a clear project scope, I'm committed to honing these skills for future endeavors.

Feedback from a portfolio tutorial highlighted the need for a more straightforward visual language and storytelling element. Armed with insights gained from presenting my portfolio for graduate school applications, I'm poised to enhance my storytelling abilities and craft more engaging narratives in my work.

I'm increasingly focused on creating experiences that resonate emotionally with audiences on multiple levels. While acknowledging the need to improve storytelling, I also aspire to incorporate tactile elements, such as fabric, into future exhibitions to enhance the viewer experience.

As I look forward to the challenges ahead, I'm eager to explore a variety of media in my pursuit of becoming a versatile, independent illustrator.

I think it's an interactive concept. Hands are one of the most important parts of the emotional commu- nication between mother and child, like hugging, shaking hands, wiping tears, etc. This tentacle is like a mother holding the hand of her grown-up child. We are still wrapped in our mother's "love", but when we grow up, we may no longer be "suffocat- ed" by our mother's love.
