A documentary film called ‘The Cove’.,which analyzes and questions dolphin hunting practices in Japan.The film highlights the fact that the number of dolphins killed in the Taiji dolphin drive hunting is several times greater than the number of whales killed in the Antarctic, and asserts that 23,000 dolphins and porpoises are killed in Japan every year by the country's whaling industry. The migrating dolphins are herded into a cove where they are netted and killed by means of spears and knives over the side of small fishing boats. The film argues that dolphin hunting as practiced in Japan is unnecessary and cruel.
This collection is connected to an unusual rainfall of small marine life in my hometown-Qingdao. We called that “fish rain”. Because of typhoon ’mangosteen’,The small marine life fell during a storm and are believed to have been lifted out of a river during a strong wind. The "fish rain shower" took place on 14th June with the creatures falling on the cars, roads and roofs.
We regard the ocean as a huge refuse processing plant. However, the waste we throw into the sea was sent back by the typhoon.
this situation is regarded as revenge from earth, from nature.We invade other's turf, they will come back one day. The trash that we throw into the sea degrade into tiny particles in the ocean, which are eaten by fish, and eventually enter the human body.
This collection, the aim is to stand from fish victims point of view, to explain specific crimes of human, to apologise and compensate.

There’s a new rule when it comes to your day-to-day style: the more dramatic the detailing the better. Look to a scattering of sleeves and waistband, opulent prints and slogans and acres of oil skin fabric to set the mood – the fisherman workwear style set announced their protest of slaughter.
