／Description and concept of the artwork
作品描述與概念／
以“海洋孕育·人類福祉·永續共生”為核心，這件作品將海洋垃圾（再生塑料瓶、漁網等）轉化為兼具時尚感與生命力的高定裙裝——裙身的藍綠波紋復刻海浪形態，裙擺的透明網格與塑料瓶肌理，既是對海洋生態的具象呼應，也是“垃圾變珍寶”的可持續實踐。
背景中，古航海圖、現代都市剪影與深海生物交織，既隱喻人類文明與海洋的千年聯結，也暗合“穿越時空的生命力”：永續材料讓這件作品跳出“一次性時尚”的局限，成為“自然-人文-環保”共融的載體——它既是一件時裝，也是一則關於“環境管理”的溫柔宣言：人類的福祉，從來都藏在對自然的敬畏與循環共生里。
“愛如其本然”，舊冊子+新芽體現對本真的包容，舊有的經驗為新的事物提供養分，托舉其成長，也為其做鋪墊。
Centered on the theme of “Ocean Nurturance · Human Well-Being · Sustainable Coexistence,” this work transforms marine waste—such as recycled plastic bottles and discarded fishing nets—into a haute couture gown infused with both fashion sensibility and vitality. The blue-green wave patterns of the skirt echo the movement of the sea, while the transparent mesh and plastic-bottle textures of the hem serve as a tangible reflection of marine ecology and a concrete practice of sustainability, turning waste into value.
In the background, ancient nautical charts intertwine with modern urban silhouettes and deep-sea creatures, symbolizing the millennia-long connection between human civilization and the ocean, while also evoking a sense of “life force across time.” Sustainable materials allow the piece to transcend the limitations of disposable fashion, becoming a vessel for the integration of nature, humanity, and environmental responsibility. It is both a fashion creation and a gentle statement on environmental stewardship, reminding us that human well-being has always been rooted in respect for nature and cycles of coexistence.
The phrase “Love as It Is” reflects this philosophy: old books paired with new sprouts symbolize an embrace of authenticity, where past experiences nourish new growth, supporting its development and laying the foundation for the future.
