In this part, there will be three separated stories to show my fashion image works. They are food as art, the isolated time and think green. They each to tell and convey different messages and values.
FOOD AS ART
In this collection, you can see the food become symbolic and combine with everyday objects. They can be a sculpture, an ornament, artwork or fashion accessories. Because of combining with everyday objects, the food becomes more attractive, creativity and fun. This collection shows bright and eye-catching background colours to convey a playful and fun feeling. Also, making audiences to re-think what we can bring for our everyday life? What makes we want to find out more? The answer can be anything. Food is an essential part of life, also it is a sprite for creating our ideas.
THE ISOLATED TIME
This collection has a range of images that were produced in the COVID-19 isolated time. It displays more about styling, wearable objects and everyday life. These images can show in this isolated time we were cooking at home, keeping a social distance, cleaning the house, online shopping, shaving and practising makeup skills. The image filter of this collection is inspired by Rococo art painting. Rococo painting, which originated in early 18th century Paris, is characterized by soft colours and curvy lines and depicts scenes of love, nature, romantic encounters, light-hearted entertainment, and youth. Rococo colours are very delicate and bright, such as pale green, pink and scarlet. (Trapasso 2013) Therefore in this collection, you can see some parts of images look shiny and reflective. It is interesting to see the modern images combine with old art painting filter style to come out with new ideas.

THINK GREEN
This story is a stop motion video with 120 images made by Adobe Rush. This video is to promote a value of recycling, reduce and reuse. As we know, there are some serious wasted issues in the fashion system, some people even do not know why they were buying? What is the purpose? And what makes them want to buy? Blind consumption will only lead to more waste. Through this video, we can see at the beginning it shows a simple question, “how many shoes do you have?” Is to connect with audiences, and let them ask themselves. In the middle part of the video, the fact comes out, “but, there is the only one pair of shoes usually be worn”. This is the main reason to stop buying a lot of shoes. This story conveys a message to think green, think more before buying it and stop wasting it. The soundtrack of the video is Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake (Suite), Op. 20a - 3. Danse des petits cygnes, those shoes in the video are like little swans dancing beside the lake, a feeling of the graceful and light beat.
