XI WANG

The inspiration for this project came from the exhibition called “The Border Cantos”,  which explored the unseen aspects of US-Mexico border, the narrow strip of land where hundreds of people died each year attempting to cross into the U.S. from Mexico.

I took lots of pictures from the exhibition showing the feeling of loneliness and desolation. As for the design details, I pulled some details from the origami and added some 3D designs such as pleats, ruffles, gatherings .etc.
