Flow with Flos by Xiaojing Chen

Taking the Song Dynasty incense culture as the design theme and inspiration, the works make use of natural materials, artificially transformed and combined with new materials in the contemporary context, to interpret the relationship between the Song Dynasty incense culture and the development of humanities through the creation of a natural landscape, starting from the imagery and context of 'incense'. The four works are both jewellery and wearable incense sticks - a form that demonstrates the transformation and application of the shape of the incense vessel, as well as the special formal content of incense mist as jewellery, which lies somewhere between abstraction and figuration.
