The intention of the design is to combine Chinese cultural heritage and blueberry together to change and ease the unpleasant emotion. As the well-known Chinese cultural also got plundered by The UK during First Opium War. The fate of the pottery is similar to blueberry pickers. Thus, white and blue Chinese pottery has become my original inspiration source. 

Despite the detriment stories behind blueberry and Chinese pottery, it is worth to mention that due to the oriental aesthetics of the pottery, it is also developed inspirations of innovations in different industries. My design breaks down the blueberry components to reinterpret it by applying and reconstruing Chinese traditional manifestations. Therefore, utilizing a large number use of Chinese blue and pottery pattern with highlight colours including plum red and gold colours is main tone of my designs. At last, further meaning of the design is hoping to bring exposures and reflection of this exploited event to raise public awareness of the unfair treatment and also bring good wish to avoid it.

Despite blueberry chosen to display the less known side. The combining of Chinese traditional patterns with blueberry is my intention to change and ease the unpleasant emotion. The traditional Chinese cloud pattern and paper cutting as significant Chinese cultural heritages are symbolized joy and best wishes. My design breaks down the blueberry components and reconstrue them in Chinese traditional manifestations, applying big number of Chinese blue, plum red and gold colours frequently used in various artworks representing great hopes. Through the application of traditional Chinese patterns, it could convey good hope to the exploited labour force, and also hopes to raise awareness of inequity.
