The inspiration for this project comes from the Korean film ‘Hope’. It tells the story of an innocent little girl who was sexually assaulted on a rainy day, and how she faced life with her family again.
This project not only gets ideas through the film’s content but also connects 4 things that made me happy in my childhood: play the beads & buckles and toys, watch the lion dance performances, fly kites and go to the night market.
The childhood shapes a person’s character and will affect the whole life. I hope this project can bring some hope and healing to those who have similar experiences.
Lion dance serves as one of the main sources of inspiration. The project uses tufting and pom poms to experience the joy and healing of childhood memories.
