The design is based on the field investigation of southeast Guizhou. Totems are mainly derived from Miao myths and epics. Local people expressed their worship of reproduction through ethnic art forms such as embroidery and batik, and expressed them metaphorically and metaphorically, so that their children and grandchildren could understand the origin of the nation and the meaning of life.

Among them, butterfly and fish totems are the most representative. I geometricized the rolling mountains and terraces of Southeastern Guizhou, reconstructed them and the totem patterns and geometric patterns extracted from the embroidery.

Combining techniques such as engraving, embossing, and bronzing, the colors are mainly black, white, and gold, which are designed to highlight the shape and meaning of the totem.

From cultural and creative products to installation art, I hope that through rich craftsmanship and carriers, traditional culture will present more perspectives and possibilities. I expect more people to pay attention to the national culture behind totems. Design to help the sustainable development of the nation.
