Time is the foundation for all great art, and it is a recurring theme found in the work of philosophers and poets throughout history. During three years of graduate study and practice, my works have gradually grown in static production and dynamic communication with the outside world. The thesis expounds the presentation of the flowing, linear time in the work and the contradiction and opposition of the nonlinear time. Combining with my graduation work collection, I use repetitive geometric design to express my different understandings of the concept of "time zone."
