Dingyun Zhang creates objects inspired with fluidity. This transformative approach abstracts the human form to tackle the environment’s obstacles. Performance-wear are designed in abstract forms where the quality and longevity of textiles are emblematic of life cycles, while the layers draw reference from those who live in extreme habitats. Like rural communities around the globe that have lived with frugal practicality and function for many millennia, a single Dingyun Zhang piece can be worn in multiple ways, mirroring the ever-changing environments we live in, and the diversity of modern lifestyles in differing climates.
