Based on the study of natural biological activities and biological structures, Hongci created a collection of biomimetic E-textile works.
Hongci’s Biology integrates her aesthetic and material choice into each individual that is derived from nature.
These soft-robotic-individuals are chatters of conscious thoughts, raising awareness of how beautiful nature is and what can we learn from it.
