Clothing starts off as objects to cover the body, and this work proposes for us to rethink about the functionality of clothes. In today's world, are people still wearing clothes just to cover the body? The artist challenges the many elements that constructs a piece of garment, and uses natural conditions to define the meaning of clothing. In the work, besides the structure of units, time and space are also related elements. The passing of time and the changes in space are producing new perspectives. The video work also portrays the office workers that are being compressed by the forces in society, and the white collar class is gaining more pockets that contain more tools for survival; however, at the same time, these changes are also bring on pressure that is destructive. The sprouting neckties symbolize a new life, and in a singular growing environment, it also represents a new birth of social status.
