Delicate; Yet She Is Made of More

Upcycled Duchess Satin Fabric with Art, Plastic, Pearls, Acrylic Paint

By Li Ying | Fabric Marquage Artist, The World of Ying (@theworldofying)

Artwork Valuation: $650

For over a decade, Ying blended fine art and fashion, evolving from painting using watercolours and digitally printing them on fabrics - to starting Ying The Label. After a year-long pause to reconnect with her creative roots, she now returns as a fabric marquage artist—painting directly onto fabric with instinct and emotion. She has collaborated with multiple designers and creatives, as well as working with several corporates to showcase her artistic expressions. Each piece is a one-of-a-kind.

She may look beautiful, like porcelain light,

but within her glows a quiet might.

She bends, not breaks, through every storm—

delicate, yes;

but made of more.

This upcycled fabric was one of her most-loved digitally printed artworks. She chose a porcelain concept to reflect “Life’s Fragility,” showing that while we may appear beautiful, flaws and cracks lie within. So we shouldn’t judge by appearances but look deeper with empathy. Only then can we uncover strength in every being — and inspire.
