ISSUE 01: The Heritage Little Park

Rooted in the timeless elegance of traditional Chinese garden design, the park cradles a shimmering lake at its heart. A zigzag bridge dances across the water, leading to a graceful pavilion that watches over the seasons. Inspired by the delicate beauty of a historical Chinese garden, I pushed beyond traditional techniques to explore texture, light, and intimacy. I used a handcrafted crochet flower as a special binding way, blending soft yarn with ink lines to evoke a sense of tactile memory. Intricate paper cutting and embroidery-like lace decorations offer visual surprises, while translucent tracing paper introduces a layered narrative, like mist unfolding over a quiet lake. The lace ribbon, carefully placed, mimics the shifting dance of light and shadow across collage-crochet flowers, inviting readers to slow down and feel the subtle poetry of the space.

This zine is not only a record of a place I cherish, but also a reflection of how I interpret nature through mixed media and emotional depth.
