Spring 2020
Thesis collection- Refraction

The collection is inspired by the impact of quarantine.
The morning sunlight refracted through the windows, casting a rainbow on the floor.The slash of color brought me to the window where I spend my entire afternoon enjoying staring at the park in the apartment complex.
Due to the impact of the epidemic, people were quarantined at home for nearly two months. Missing the motivation and direction, I lost my creativity and can hardly go further for my design portfolio during the first month of staying at home. The original theme had me struggled through most of the part and remain negative on the results.
The time I spend in front of my window reminds me that Spring had arrived and the bad time will eventually become past memories. The rainbow lit up my energy and regain my strength on resetting the goal and make up my mind to become a better self after the quarantine.

Nice weather, bright sunlight and deep blue sunlight.
It is warm and cozy, with the new inspiration, I sketched out most of my design at the spot.
