The frame focuses on a Zhuang ethnic brocade weaving scene, imbuing daily labor with a sense of monumental grandeur through composition. Oriental flat decorative patterns and totems unfold the cultural memory of the ethnic group. Material techniques resonate with the cultural weight encapsulated in the saying 'an inch of brocade, an inch of gold.' Through the cultural negotiation of spatial symbols and multi-media, the work elevates brocade weaving into a ritual of inscribing the ethnic ethos.
