Myth / Form / Vision – Fragments of Gu Spirit
Myth
Gu Spirit – Post-Human Witchcraft reimagines the ancient Chinese folklore of “Gu,” a tale of poisonous lifeforms sealed in a vessel until only one survives. This myth becomes a metaphor for endurance, pain, and transformation, reshaped here through the language of fashion and design.
Form
The project presents sculptural garments that merge 3D-printed bones, silicone membranes, and reclaimed textiles into hybrid forms. Displayed on mannequins, each piece appears as a relic of a future body, neither fully human nor insect, but an artefact of metamorphosis and survival.
Vision
Gu Spirit questions conventional beauty and offers a post-human perspective: to bear pain rather than erase it, to transform scars into strength, and to merge biology with technology in search of new aesthetics. It invites visitors into a dark, immersive space where myth and future design intersect.
