“Jade Flower”

------ 寧為玉碎，不為瓦全般的青春。

以紅樓夢裡的角色林黛玉為謬思，形塑寧為玉碎，不為瓦全般的青春。
花是短暫的，玉是永恆的，用玉雕琢花的樣貌，紀念這短暫而美好的青春。青春即便短暫，即便一摔及碎，卻仍然以生命的完全去盛開綻放。此為和巧克力師傅合作的作品，即便巧克力在一定的時刻後就會融化，人們卻還是精心的雕琢它，使它在短暫中如青春般盛開綻放。

Inspired by Lin Dai Yu(林黛玉), a character in a classic Chinese novel, “A Dream of Red”(紅樓夢), the garment tells a story of youth.
Flower symbolizing youth are short-lived and jade is eternal. Carve the appearance of flower with jade to commemorate this short and beautiful youth. Youth is short-lived. Disregarding the fact that it will eventually end, it still blooms with the fullness of life.
This garment is a collaborative work with a chocolatier. Even the chocolate will melt after a certain period of time, people still sculpt it delicately by hand to make it bloom beautifully in its short existence just like youth. While the existence is short, people still can carve the beauty in their memory.
(The connection of Lin Dai Yu, flower, jade and youth is according to the novel.)
