IN “THE SONG OF HEROES,” MY DESIGNS BLEND INTO THE SPIRIT OF THE “NEW ROMANTIC” ERA WHERE PEOPLE REVEL IN DRESSING UP AS DIVERSE CHARACTERS-WITH MY DEEP-ROOTED CONNECTION TO MY UYGHUR HERITAGE. THIS GAVE ME THE IDEA OF CREATING THE UYGHUR WARRIORS.
THE POST-MODERNISM, A CONSTANT INFLUENCE IN MY WORK, THIS COLLECTION IS A PERSONAL EXPLORATION AND MY INTERPRETATION OF LIFE EXPERIENCES.THE CHARACTERS IN THIS COLLECTION TELL STORIES OF CULTURAL PRIDE AND A DESIRE FOR SOCIAL REPRESENTATION.
