ANN LIN & SABRINA SHEN: AKAI
WANWEI HUANG’s collection is a joyful expression of a quirky, artistic sensibility. Inspired by the artist Yayoi Kusama, the collection irreverently explores the concept of infinity expressed through dots, masterfully depicted in original textiles and inventive pattern cutting. The Series title [AKAI] meaning red in Japanese pronunciation. The photographs by Ann & Sabrina captures a visual tension through reconstruction of objects and forms that mimics the ultimate element in Wanwei’s collection.
