PACKAGING DESIGN Jan 2019
Amidst the current social background, there’s a guiding invisible power, a giant machine producing outward facing forms. Forms that are lost, over and over in batches. When a thing of value can be produced so easily, It becomes surplus. It loses its original value. People are no exception. Superficial imitation and replication can only reduce one’s value.
Plastic is THE material to express bondage and batch-type production. Endless production of plastic products is a result of volume Vs. cost - Mass production coupled with substitution of any more expensive materials. Plastics is living a lie. Always “pretending” to be other materials. Our life is filled with plastics.
Plastic is the testament of our time - A world flooded with numb minds. People who are always “pretending” to be someone else, desperate to fill the mould of the freshest stereotype off the press.

当代社会背景下有一股无形的力量像一台巨大的生产机器，批量生产着一群又一群失去自我的躯壳。人们开始趋向把自己变成这个社会所喜欢的样子，而渐渐失去了自我。当一件有价值的事物开始变得过剩，它便失去它的价值。
选择塑料这个材料去表达是因为塑料相比其他材料来说更能体现出一种被束缚的、批量生产出来的感觉,每一个塑料制品生产出来都是一模一样的,于是人们的印象中塑料总是量产化的代表。另一方面，塑料通常被用作更昂贵材料的替代，总是在“扮演”其他材料。我们的生活中充斥着塑料，就像这个时代充斥着千篇一律的麻木的人们，把自己的生活沉浸在“扮演”他人的过程中。
