  • This sweater is a striking piece of wearable art, designed and handmade with a personal touch, following a general pattern by Jessie Maed Designs. It is a vibrant homage to the microscopic beauty of the cerebellar cortex, as captured in a six-color fluorescence confocal image from my research project. This wearable art piece translates the intricate dance of molecules within the cerebellum into a tapestry of color and pattern. It features a kaleidoscopic array of hues, reflecting the fluorescent tags used to identify various molecules within the brain tissue. Each color and pattern interweave to form a design that resonates with the complexity and beauty of neurological structures, making the sweater not just a statement piece but also a storyteller of scientific exploration.

  • The "Shawls of the Hall of Supreme Harmony's Eaves" is a beautifully handcrafted crochet shawl, drawing inspiration from the iconic architecture of the Hall of Supreme Harmony located within the Forbidden City in Beijing. The shawl begins with a serene blue at the top, representing the expansive sky above the historic site. This transitions into a rich gold section, symbolizing the roof tiles, which are a distinctive feature of the hall's grandeur. Below, the shawl explodes into a spectrum of brilliant colors, each reflecting the vividly adorned eaves of the hall, known for their intricate and colorful designs. The overall effect is a striking representation of the hall's visual splendor, transformed into a wearable piece of art. This shawl, following a pattern from the Chinese yarn company Susan’s Family, weaves together cultural heritage and handcrafting tradition.
