Motifx

As the theme of the Motifx exhibition is ‘East meets West’, I selected classic fairy tale with the application of Chinese pattern style to interpret the theme of patterns. The story setting of ‘The Nightingale’ is in ancient China about the friendship between the emperor and a nightingale. I used a traditional Chinese style window grilles as the main structure with 2 nightingales and Dunhuang basic floral pattern in the middle of the windows.The floral pattern actually used the symmetric change of music symbol G-clef (𝄞) and F-clef (੭:). Birds shows the meaning of wisdom and spirituality. With the combination of Coin-like window structure, it further brings out the symbolization of happiness, prosperity and good luck. The overall pattern is to illustrate the end part of the story - the king recovered from illness after listening to the real nightingale’s song.

Motifx

Motifx展覽的主題是“East meets West”，我選取了經典童話故事，運用中國圖案風格來詮釋圖案的主題。 《夜鶯》的故事背景設定在中國古代，講述皇帝與夜鶯的友誼。整體格局是為了闡述故事的結尾部分——國王在聽到真正的夜鶯用歌聲希望國王早日病癒身體安康。我採用了中國傳統風格的窗花作為主體結構，窗戶中間有兩隻夜鶯和敦煌基本花卉圖案，花卉圖案實際上採用了音樂符號 高音譜號（𝄞）和 低音譜號（੭:）為靈感並加以進行對稱變化所創作出來的。鳥兒體現著智慧和靈性的意義，再配合錢幣狀窗結構，更帶出幸福、富足、吉祥的象徵。
