About
Yufan is an emerging designer who merges textile design with therapeutic art practices, exploring the nexus between mental wellness and material creativity. Her designs specifically aim to alleviate anxiety and enhance focus for individuals with ADHD by leveraging the tactile and sensory qualities of textiles. Yufan’s work incorporates the symbolism of weaving, reflecting themes of interconnectivity, creativity, and the complex structures inherent in life. Emphasizing mindfulness, her creations encourage full engagement in the present moment without judgment, fostering a deeper consciousness of thoughts, emotions, physical sensations, and the environment. Her objective is for audiences to connect with both nature and themselves through the sensory dimensions of visual textures, light, sound, and touch.
Yufan selects materials and techniques, such as hand-spun silk and Double Weave, to introduce complexity and interactivity to her pieces, thereby inviting viewers to engage on various sensory levels.
