/Description and concept of the artwork
作品描述與概念/

This work stands as a tribute to the Brutalist architecture of former Yugoslav countries, a powerful expression of identity, resilience, and unity between East and West. Inspired by these monumental forms, the piece transforms architectural strength into a sculptural silhouette, exploring construction through deconstruction. Made from Mirum, an innovative plant-based alternative to leather, and shaped using the zero waste technique, it embodies both sustainability and innovation. The monochromatic palette reflects the texture and tone of concrete — raw, timeless, and symbolic. Beyond material and form, the work carries a deeper purpose: to preserve and reinterpret cultural heritage, reminding us that these architectural monuments are not just relics of the past but vital inspirations for the future. This model becomes a living monument — a voice that keeps the memory of Yugoslav Brutalism alive through fashion and contemporary design.

本作品向前南斯拉夫國家中獨具象徵性的粗獷主義(Brutalist)建築致敬——那是一種屬於身份、韌性與東西方連結的力量語彙。設計靈感源自這些宏偉的混凝土量體,將建築的堅實結構轉譯為雕塑般的服裝輪廓,以「解構建構」的方式探索建築語言的延續。

作品材質使用 Mirum —— 一種以植物為基底、具備革材替代性的創新永續材料,並以零廢棄(Zero Waste)技法塑形完成,體現永續與革新的並行。單色調的呈現呼應混凝土的質地與色澤:粗粝、永恆,亦帶有象徵性。

然而作品不止於物質與造形,更承載著保存與再詮釋文化遺產的使命。它提醒我們,這些建築不僅是過去的紀念,更是未來靈感的重要源泉。此作品作為一座「可行走的紀念碑」,以時尚與當代設計延續南斯拉夫粗獷主義的記憶,讓其精神以全新姿態被看見並持續呼吸。
