Multi-material costume design        
綜合材料服裝設計

160 × 50 × 50 cm

This is a costume installation created by organic materials and clothing fabrics. The natural flowers used were collected and processed by the artist and the costume was meticulously handmade using the craft and techniques of fashion design. The unique materials used in the artwork change over time, creating a different outlook for each viewer. This is meant to express the artist's tribute to "life experience" while commemorating her grandmother who eternally remained in the summer of 2022.

「生如夏花，死如秋葉」—— 泰戈爾

這是一件由綜合有機材料和服裝面料製作的服裝裝置作品。當中的天然花是由藝術家本人收集並加以處理，再運用服裝設計的工藝製作完成。由於材料的特殊性，作品會隨著時間的流逝產生變化，因此每位觀眾會看到作品呈現不同的狀態。藝術家意在致敬「生命經驗」，同時以此紀念生命永遠停留在2022年夏天的祖母。

Silvia Qu, is a girl from Shanghai whose childhood dream was to be a famous fashion designer and could show her brand in Paris Fashion Week. Most of her previous works were fashion designs with themes about "human," "society," and "nature."

After graduating from her college, Silvia  started to learn visual art in Hong Kong. In her art practice, she is  always trying to explore more possibilities on different materials. Doing different kinds of art makes her feel excited. Silvia is  described as a "multitasker" and "the person who never stops." by her friends as being willing to try new things is one thing she insists on.

Rather than being recognised as an artist, "a storyteller" is what she calls herself. Telling stories through art is what she is doing and will always do.

瞿軼佳是一個來自上海的女孩。她從小的夢想是成為一名著名時裝設計師，讓自己的作品登上巴黎時裝週。她先前的作品大多在探索「人」、「社會」與「自然」等課題。

本科畢業後，瞿軼佳開始在香港學習視覺藝術。在她的藝術實踐中，她總是試圖在不同的材料上探索更多的可能，做不同種類的藝術讓她感到興奮。瞿軼佳總是被朋友們形容為「同時做很多事情的人」和「永遠不會停下來的人」，因為勇於嘗試新事物是她一直以來的堅持。

相比起藝術家，瞿軼佳更偏好稱自己為「講故事的人」。透過藝術講故事是她一直在做的事，也是她畢生的追求。
