Zhang Jieru, a textile designer and artist specializing in mix media. Her artworks often revolve around self-examination, using herself as both the subject and object, rendering them deeply personal.
Working across various mediums such as painting, textiles, mixed media, and digital art, she frequently amalgamates natural and artificial elements, blurring the boundaries between fantasy and reality. Her artistic practice delves into the therapeutic impact of color, guiding viewers back to their most secure and comfortable mental spaces, where they experience a sense of tranquility, akin to floating in a dreamy garden on a lake. My intention is to convey emotions to aid in healing viewers' psychological traumas, seeking to achieve healing and balance.

When I cut off my tentacles, the wind passed through my body.

This is a private, story-filled project.Treatment ptsd can't get out of the previous relationship.
My body is distorted and deformed in the fantasy world, and I can only pour out my emotions in a creative way.
I hope to resonate with those who are similar to ptsd and comfort each other. In order to cure ptsd. When I was healing myself, I found that by simply touching, smelling, and distinguishing the colours of different adjacent objects, arousing the senses can quickly relieve pain.

This project approaches damaged architectural surfaces as processes of accumulation rather than loss. Developed in response to the walls of Blanca, it examines cracks, peeling layers and erosion as traces of time and entropy.
Through sewing and lightweight textile materials, subtle interventions are attached to the surface, not to repair it but to continue its logic, allowing new layers to emerge. A series of AI-generated images extends the work into a virtual dimension, translating these material processes into speculative surface conditions.
