Jellyfish and butterflies are often used in Chinese literature to represent dreamy, fragile beings and things because, as one of the most beautiful creatures on earth, they have an average lifespan of only about four months. The conditions for the continuation of life are very demanding; every organ of the body needs to function properly. Butterflies and jellyfish are used as representatives to visualize this concept in my work, but I believe that the dreaminess and fragility of life is true for all life.I made a wearable item by using knitting machine. I used as many knitting techniques and color combinations as possible to create a collage-like wearable object. The collage form was chosen because it represents the fact that life depends on the cooperation of many functions of the body.
