ZIII Handbags lies in its novel design of artistic notions. Oivong's design can have very different characteristics from the given type of handbags. 

ZIII Handbags as a Moving Landscape of Street Art

Firstly, ZIII handbag means an alternative medium, or a transportable art object that has a practical function. It is then believed to be explored in a different chapter of art. It opens up to inspire activism and street art in and out of the private sphere, and takes urban space as an untapped format for personal artworks. Street or other surfaces in cities can be a powerful platform for reaching the public. Adapting visual artwork into a format which utilizes daily life landscape, Oivong allows handbag art to reach a much broader audience than traditional artwork and galleries normally do.

 

ZIII Handbags as a Metaphor of Holistic Aesthetics 

Inspiration for ZIII creating comes from a challenge to the conventions of femininity or fashionability. Oivong does not make a handbag to represent a certain subject, but rather designs the project so that it can perform the subject as a whole. Sometimes, the metaphor of "handbags" is expanded like an echo from the other parts of fashion, and integrated humour-playfulness. The former for example, through the internal level within a skirt, a scarf or a T-shirt, to another internal level inside of the handbag, integrate the performance of skirt and handbag etc.; the later for example, combine an antique Chinese Chess-board with the computer bag, then is ensnarling at each other and striking mutual characteristics. Such design makes ZIII Handbags in turn cannot help but being another structured handbag instead of a raw handbag.

ZIII Handbags as a Code of Personal Attitude

ZIII Handbag has always been more than a fashionable code with appealing effects but also something to add personal attitude and touch to the life. Choosing that kind of bag and carrying all the time with Oivong's hand painted brushes on the handbags, means one of the ways of expressing authenticity of the artist as well as of the user herself/himself. The bag represents the projection of life style and character of its owners. Uniqueness of these bags adds up to a multiple trigger: A code which would contain in itself everything that forms personality, as well one more way of communication.

Oivong has been designing many striking art technique and material for fashion and handbags. As a fashion designer and artist in Hong Kong, she has introduced a new concept that allows the handbags, as private belongs or collections, to be transformed.

Firstly, her classic essence and natural appeal to Chinese Eco-aesthetics reveals a neo-gentle Chinese philosophical ideal, and transforms handbags into a grace of the modern living style and a sense of eco. What makes a sense of eco of a handbag that gives it its distinct identity? They are its images, its structure, its materials, its inscribing poems etc., altogether can be applicable to a 'holistic' ecology notion and attitude. Put it in Zen way, the eco series even through no words of eco-friendly, but they make sense by turning the rational purity on a naturalistic tone.

Secondly, she sometimes transforms handbag design with cultural or social perspective. Unlike other handbag designers, Oivong disagrees to cancel out the unique theme of handbags, as well diminish its representation of the individuality of human life. Instead, Oivong believes that the handbag is one of the visible statements that labels women's social or political roles. Put it in another way, in some of her works, she employs the concept 'gender frames' and makes use of the animation context to structure the narrative flow of events, traits, activities and behaviors associated with men or women in public life of the city. Those rare species living on the ground are metaphors of the men-women relationship which is intimate but at the same time, remote. Their affairs are hidden from the ground to underground. Both men and women deceive themselves and others concerning their ambiguous affairs, or neither rejects nor accepts each others by pulling the scarf embroiled; or cover up their bodies by semi-transparent drainage pipes or cables in order to protect themselves. These behaviours dubiously reflect the equivocal nightmare of city dwellers.
