Hearing aids give me a sense of security, much like the comfort a mother’s womb provides to a baby. The ear’s structure, with its layers and depth, can be visually represented by the stretch and translucency of silk stockings. The fragmentation of ice symbolizes the fragility of hearing or its loss. Additionally, the silhouette of ears can be incorporated into clothing design through cut-out techniques, blending symbolism with fashion.
When I was young, I had a high fever that led to hearing loss, requiring me to wear a hearing aid. I used to be overly concerned with others' opinions, keeping my hair short to hide my ears. But as I grew older, I realized that concealing them was merely self-deception. Accepting myself fully, I no longer cared about how others saw me. Looking in the mirror, I finally recognized the beauty of my ears.
