When light hits a man-made construction, it disrupts the plain surface of the architecture.
It quietly intervenes the slow moment of the landscape.
And it creates a layer beyond what man has created; what man can never duplicate.
This jacquard-woven fabric captures the pleasant surprise of the day, a moment of disruption by light upon column-like structures.

On a technical standpoint, this work explores 3-dimensional jacquard weaving.
It weaves flat on the loom but contracts when it’s off the loom due to tightly woven layer of rayon and polyester and its tendency to shrink in, whereas the third film layer of nylon tends to stay in its size and form.
Thus, the two contrasting layers were woven on three sets of warp without tie-downs in order to separate the layer A and layer B, in which layer A is a double weave and layer B is the film layer with a loose plane weave construction.

Using three sets of warps, a third layer (layer B) is woven on a sparsely lifted warp as a film over the double weave (layer A) that acts as ground.
The third warp is set up in the sequence of 1-2-1-2-1-2-1-3, in order to create a loosely woven, transparent layer with the black warp.
On the weft, layer B is woven with an iridescent yarn and a clear nylon yarn, alternating in “A-A-B” sequence to give both structure and iridescence of color.

The pocket that layer A and B create gives space for air to enter in, resulting in a voluminous dome that undulates in and out throughout the vast surface.
This material quality also results in horizontal folds on layer A that disperses ripple-like textures all over the surface.
The key to achieving material driven dimension lies in intentional engineering of carefully chosen materials and weave structures, but ultimately through leveraging the innate characteristics of each material.
