Description/
Yang explores the process and aesthetics of packaging in her ‘Packing Me Softly’ series and discusses the attitude of the contents and packaging box itself. Most of the time, we focus on the contents of a container and not the box itself. The box protects the contents we care so much about yet it is rarely treated with basic respect. In the society, we care about the cleanliness of the city but most of us do not show much respect or recognition to the cleaning crew. Here, a taped up packing box is remade in fragile silk hand embroidery, infusing a common object with cares and respect.
