STUDIES
Inspired by the mist-covered peaks of China’s Wuyi Mountains, where Da Hong Pao (大红袍) tea is cultivated, the suspended silk installation was designed to evoke drifting clouds, mountain fog, and a sense of vertical ascent. Layers of translucent fabric create shifting depth and atmosphere, transforming the passage into an immersive landscape experience.
