FAL IN

Symbolizing both beginning and end. Overall, I want people to immerse themselves into this journey that would improve their wellness, so it’s eventually named FAL IN, like “fall in.”
I blend traditional batik techniques with contemporary fashion design, guiding teenager participants to reconsider their relationship with their bodies and selves through the creative process. Each design piece becomes a vessel conveying the project's philosophy, embodying the profound meaning that "beauty is diverse, not singular." This initiative aims to challenge society's distorted aesthetic standards centered on "pale, cute, and skinny," which is the current unhealthy Asian aesthetic. The FAL IN project extends beyond conceptual spread; it encourages youth to build body confidence and cultivate positive lifestyles through hands-on experiences. I aim to foster a healthier, more inclusive aesthetic environment where every young person can reject body image anxiety and embrace their authentic, unique selves.
