For this cover, every prop and set design were carefully thought out, revolving around the theme ‘To Nature, With Love’. We tried our best to minimise unwanted waste, making sure everyone was in line with one another during the preparation. The flowers were meticulously put together for the shoot. No extravagant set design, it is the bare minimum. No new materials were bought for creating the props, all collected from the trash to be reused then recycled again. The flowers were later adopted by the team after the shoot. The whole process was followed through the end of the shoot, it was fulfilling.

I really appreciate Vogue Taiwan and the team for staying true throughout the whole process. It was a heart-warming experience for me.
