FangDONG
董甜妹heavyherbe / 里藻 リソウ RISOU
Artist,
Front-end Developer,
Phygital* fashion designer,
Concept researcher,
storyteller.
Based in France.
Fang Dong, meaning "fragrant sense, scented intuition of direction" in Chinese, alludes to square, heavy, and oriented herbs. I am also recognized under the pseudonyms @heavyherbe and artiste FangDONG (h2e3.com).
*The term "phygital fashion" is a combination of the words "physical" and "digital," describing a hybrid approach to fashion that blends physical and online fashion experiences.
Concurrently, I joined the artist residence Le Pavillon*. While continuing with my DSRA (Higher Degree in Art Research) in preparation for my PhD project. I also work on several projects spanning contemporary art, web development, textiles, phygital fashion, education..., and my fashion accessory brand, h2e3.com.
I explore the unexpected, humor, and paradox. My work, constantly evolving, embodies my passion for rediscovering traditions while venturing into innovative domains. Merging visual art, coding, and fashion, I incorporate textiles, craftsmanship, and images as central pillars of my explorations. I aim to weave connections between various techniques, regardless of the medium, be it digital, mechanical, or otherwise. At the intersection of different disciplines and media, I strive to establish a universal language among them, seizing the opportunity to rediscover the unknown through the familiar.
*Le Pavillon, Artist-in-Residency Research Project. Founded by Ange Leccia in 2001 at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, in 2017, the Pavillon/Papillon project was merged with the Fine Arts school of Bordeaux Postmaster (pre-doctorate).

My works, much like my life, revolve around humor, joy, serendipity, self-mockery, and contradiction. Focusing primarily on observing and experiencing the everyday, I search for historical roots based on future assumptions and personal feelings. I rethink the potential value of things, looking for the gaps of imagination that exist in reality, allowing "us" in different environments to establish connections through fantasy.
