Blooming in Light: Cao Yuxi x Marisfrolg

Cao Yuxi’s art moves away from abstraction with a series of evocative visuals created for the AW 2022 collection of the Chinese fashion brand Marisfrolg.

Taking inspiration from multiple disciplines, including fashion, art, technology and design, the collection was conceived as a “light-seeking journey” from the city to nature.

Using scanning technology, Cao Yuxi captured three-dimensional aerial images of the landscapes featured in the collection - the Qinghai lakes - before reproducing and customizing them to build a new virtual natural world.

Yuxi produced a stunning series of artworks, using light to create a portal connecting the city with nature by exploring physical changes such as refraction, reflection and scattering of light.

In the post-epidemic era, Yuxi’s imaginary portal generates a new dimensional space between the real and virtual worlds.

The series was exhibited during Marisfrolg AW 2022 fashion show.
