Over the last 8 months I’ve hatched a new creative project @wearbaoje - neo editorial lingerie for the contemporary woman. It started off with polls of me in my bra asking you all about the pains and pleasures of lingerie. 

From there I’ve used every channel of expression to bring my vision to life. Ceramic dolls by the most talented @olesya_asanova. Nail art that embodied my hero design, my nail techs now recognise me by voice through the phone. A dance video I created alongside @yasfantastic @jadewimbletonmcevoy and @ttspooner to show the inner workings of a contemporary woman. I can’t wait to show you my expression of @wearbaoje soon.

I thought to myself, how many different ways can I show off the process without even having the perfect sample yet? What’s that saying? It’s harder to hit a moving target! 

This process has been a whirlwind and it will be ongoing. I’ll share all my BTS and learnings because no better mirror to self reflect through than a creative project. I’ve learnt so much about myself and life at large!!! And we ain’t even in business yet. The page will be valueable so every follow and support means the whole wide world. After all I’m not selling a product, I’m selling an expression.

Thank you to @iliasmettioui for the logo and art direction. Thank you to @iwoloschyn for the expertise and design drawings. Thank you to everyone who has been and will come into the Baoje universe! by @gko___

Yin Demon, 2026 

Ink on rice paper, linen, hair 

All roads lead to bamboo, both extremely functional and is the backbone of Asian utility, and possess fluid beauty, if you’ve ever watched a bamboo bush sway in the wind. @sabrinaraso put me in my Marc Le Bihan dress we bought in Paris, and it looks like the inverse of the bamboos!! taken in Taipei, Taiwan by @gko___

Crayon on wood plank. 

Every time I put on a movie I have a craving to draw something, so this is what I drew while watching “It’s Complicated”. 

Intuitive shapes and my deconstructed Chinese name. by @gko___

單絲不成線, 2026
Ink on Rice Paper 

More often than not, I’ll paint bamboo in company of each other. The name of the painting means, one thread does not make a chord. It kind of reminds me of me of that exercise we were shown as kids, one stick is quick to snap but 10 sticks is impossible. I love companionship and I love my best friends. One stalk is me, the other is someone who makes my life better.

I did this painting in 2019 when I returned back to Wellington to visit family, after graduating in Auckland. It now sits in the Te Papa collection!! 

Me and mum started Chinese painting when I was 6 up until I finished high school. After 5 years of not painting this was the first piece I did. The bamboo is stronger and the rock more grounded than before!! 

On my second day of being in Taiwan I visited this beautiful calligraphy store to repurchase some staple brushes and ink I had left in New Zealand. I will be painting again!! by @gko___

My special interest is scanning, it feels like collecting Pokémon. It feels different to taking a photo because it’s way more admin, I have to sit through 1 minute of ads per ten photos because I refuse to pay for the app, which is precisely why it holds more value, I worked for it!! 

This was my Hilma Af Klint experience through a series of scans. Art work, wall text and me resting. I felt like I was preserving the spirituality of the art work by sucking it all in through my scans. taken in Paris, France by @gko___

“Fallen Fruit”

Ben and I worked together again, this time to bring Chinese painting to life. 

I recall an analogy that my godmother told me when I went on a solo trip to China in my early 20s. It’s stuck with me and has become a mindset I return to. I used traditional water colour techniques to paint out elements while Ben created a world and animated the brush strokes, bringing to life, what once was static. 

Aki designed the sound that so beautifully frames and runs through the piece.

Made with Watercolour paints on rice paper, Cinema4D & Adobe
