While traditional crochet is a disciplined craft of rows, counts, and predictable geometries—the construction of a scarf or a hat—Chen’s approach is one of radical departure. For this body of work, she utilizes the medium not as a domestic skill, but as a spontaneous mapping of the subconscious.


Her process is an intuitive navigation: moving from right to left, oscillating between vertical and horizontal planes, and following the aesthetic pull of the "beautiful moment" rather than a pre-determined pattern. The resulting forms serve as a physical record of a cognitive journey—a literal manifestation of the shape of her thoughts.


To maintain the vitality of this series, Chen remains hyper-aware of her own technical muscle memory. She describes a conscious effort to "break the mode" of making, ensuring that each piece avoids the trap of repetition and remains a unique, unscripted exploration of the materials.
