If gloves are likened to initiative, then white gloves represent the initial pure motivation at the outset. As time and environment progress, mixed with uncontrollable external factors, they become tainted with chaos. The weighty inertia easily suppresses thoughts of action, yet this does not hinder other white elements from appearing to support the soul along with erased time, indicating that changes are underway. The budding of personal energy is evident, but control over the 'sense of time' is still lost, with every moment seeming to slow down.
Repeatedly sketching the golden ratio, self-doubt during the pursuit of ideals is unavoidable. The soiled gloves are pulled in all directions, encompassing the struggles along the journey, the tug-of-war between moving forward and retreating.
'C’est La Vie' embodies being amidst chaos and turmoil, learning to coexist with and reconcile oneself, preparing for the next challenge in the process.

"Losing motivation is like a fish in a bag."

"The freedom and constraints held in one's hand."

"The entanglement of lightness and heaviness."

C’est La Vie, derived from French meaning "That's Life," reflects my understanding of life at the age of 22—a process of self-adjustment, maintaining flexibility to meet ever-changing needs and challenges. I have divided the process of self-adjustment into seven stages: TIE: Binding TRAP: Falling into unfinished dreams SAVE: Self-awareness and self-rescue MUDDY: Confusion, contradiction, tug-of-war CHANGE: Transformation BURN: Spontaneous combustion of energy RETURN: Return and liberation These seven stages are represented in a spectrum of colors transitioning from black to white, culminating in silver and reflections, embodying the perception of will from a state of dim despair to self-generated luminescent energy. Utilitarian buckles, drawstrings, etc., manifest the survival instinct of "self-rescue," freeing oneself from internal struggles and exploring the energy of internal combustion.
