Wuxia
PROJECT BACKGROUND
In the world of Wuxia, people are not always treated with justice. While Xias may kill for the sake of righteousness, villains may also care about their families and their partners. As there is grace, there is also enmity. Besides the gentle feelings between a master and his/her disciple, there is also enmity when facing enemy. There are Xias who always follow rules and also some who always walk their own ways. In this work, I want to present the contrasts of the world of Wuxia.
PROJECT CONCEPT
In terms of colour choices, I used black and white to present the righteousness and evilness in Wuxia world, which may sometimes appear friendly to each other. I also used fabric with wrinkles to simulate the natural environment that Xias see when travelling. While the inner dress is made of stiff fabric, soft organza was used for the outer side to represent the resolute and gentle feelings of Xias. Finally, the embroidery of words was used to represent record Wuxia’s stories.
