Self-identity Portfolio

My key concept is to play and give new interpretation to things, whether it is something old or something ordinary. 
 
So, as I was inspired by Magritte's painting, which is "This is not a pipe", I came out with my version of "This is not a sock". The sock is no more a sock, or I should put it as this is more than just a sock.
I tend to find something to play with. I should be grateful on my childhood that I recalled a paper mechanism that I used to play with. It is only now that I knew it was called as infinite flipper. I have tried to merge it with my concept, which is playing while working. Surprisingly, it is much more functional than I thought, as a refreshment during working time. Besides, its flipping action reflects my key concept well. 
 
Therefore, this is my name card. 
This is my envelope and there is a little surprise inside.
My letterhead folded and unfold. This is not a sock, but a cat. 
This is my portfolio cover. It is the world of "This is not a sock". Therefore, everythings in the world are made in the shapes of socks.
