Ling Jiang’s design philosophy is about learning from ancient wisdoms, the respect for nature and the treasuring of objects. The principle that healing ourselves will make the earth self-heal. A return from globalization, to caring more about how we treat objects and interact with them. Self-healing and naturalization is aresymbiotic ways of existence on and with our planet.
The research questions she is currently exploring are the following: What kind of craft or ancient wisdom can help us seek cultural engagement with nature as a treatment to urban existence? How do migration, the decentralization of cities, and the eagerness to retreat to a rural environment affect ideas surrounding new luxury lifestyles?
