[ YDC2023 ] Holometabolism | Ying Kwan Shing, Jason

‘What would have happened if human evolution had gone down the path of insects?’ Humans are naturally unable to go through the four phases of metamorphosis like insects do - egg, larva, pupa and adult. Metamorphosis, also known as metamorphic phenomena, refers to the adaptation to ever-changing environments by adopting different life forms for survival. Graduated from the Queensland University of Technology in Australia two years ago, designer Jason Ying has been working for a year to perfect his skills in pattern marking and sewing. He is obsessed with structure and form, and has incorporated his curiosity for deconstruction and metamorphosis into his creations. In his exploration and imagination of the differences between humans and other species, he attempts to construct the diversity of evolution by using silhouettes, detailed joints and colours.

「如果人的進化朝着蟲的方向，會有什麼不同？」 人自然無法經歷昆蟲由卵、幼蟲、蛹、成蟲的「全變態」四階演變過程，變態是指為了生存，而以不同的生命形式來適應變幻莫測的環境，亦稱之為「變態現象」。 兩年前於澳洲昆士蘭科技大學畢業後工作一年，擅長打版和車縫的 Jason 對於結構和形態非常執着，他將這種對解構和蟲態演變的好奇放進創作裏，從而探索和想像人類與其他物種的差異，試圖以輪廓、關節細節、顏色去建構關於演變的多樣性。
