996 Worklife

The inspiration for this collection comes from employees who devote their entire lives and time to the workplace. The imbalance in the distribution between life and work is the norm in many social structures. The high pressure environment of working life causes physical and mental damage to people in an invisible way, so the conflict between the deepest emotions and the socialised emotions under the shroud of rationalised workplace rules is what this collection wants to explore. According to Freud, "the desire to love and the desire to die are two parts of the instinctive impulse, and they are in a situation of mutual reciprocity. In the case of repressed love, people rely on the 'attack instinct' for satisfaction. The object of the attack is first and foremost other people, which creates tension in interpersonal relationships, generalises and perpetuates the competition for survival, and creates fear, loneliness, inferiority complexes, mental breakdowns and suicides. " In the technologically advanced and materially rich cities, they have lost their spiritual shelter and lead a lonely, confused and numb working life. The various illnesses of modern man, such as relying on violence to fight against nothingness, distortion of human nature and schizophrenia, are all spiritual dilemmas exposed by modernity in the post-industrial era.
