Centered around the theme "Youth Synergy · Harvesting Splendor," the exhibition showcased outstanding graduate works across six disciplines: Visual Communication Design, Product Design, Digital Media and New Media, Digital Media Arts, Advertising, and Environmental Design. Students reinterpreted culture through innovative perspectives and reconstructed life aesthetics with design thinking, highlighting the seamless integration of art and technology, tradition and modernity.
In her speech, Li Jiao, Dean of the School of Art Design and Media, commended the students' creative achievements. She noted that their works, which combined cultural heritage with rural revitalization through field research and digital technologies, reflected both historical heritage and social reflection, showcasing the creativity and sense of responsibility of the younger generation. She encouraged graduates to embrace the spirit of "Xiaoman" (a solar term symbolizing growth) and continue pursuing their passions, harvesting the brilliance of civilization and contributing to the era.
He Yulu, a student representative, shared her creative journey. Inspired by the Chinese character "采" (harvest), her visual design fused diverse colors and forms to breathe new life into traditional culture while expressing gratitude to her alma mater and mentors.
The exhibition featured remarkable highlights: the visual communication piece Common Herbal Chronicles showcased the charm of Chinese herbal culture; product designs focused on aging - in - place needs; digital media arts explored the boundaries between technology and art; and the environmental design work "Fading into Dust" created a space with both functionality and cultural connotations.
Presented through physical displays, videos, and interactive installations, the exhibition demonstrated the innovative outcomes of interdisciplinary collaboration, reflecting the school's forward-thinking vision and teaching excellence. It offered audiences a visual feast of art and creativity.
