My works are mostly originated from personal experiences and feelings, especially experiences that brings us a sense of happiness. In this brutal world, people often lost themselves and their perception and experience of happiness are becoming less and less, so I hope to communicate with viewers about meaning of life and happiness through my work for resonance.
Because of my interest in philosophy and psychology, I have done a lot of exploring and thinking about the meaning of life by reading masterpieces of philosophers and psychologists. In this grand universe, our lives are meaningless in general. I tend to believe that people can find and enjoy happiness in the moment is the biggest meaning of life for each of us. This caused me to do research on my own experiences of happiness, and also to record all these pleasant feelings and moments through my jewelry practice.
On artistic style, I esteem myself as a narrative jeweler, which means I prefer to set my personal experiences and feelings as starting point, and which gets developed further out of my understanding of the world to echo with others. In my work, I hope to embrace the chaos, the energy, the feeling of being alive by capture those special moments, and to share my positive attitude with people by express the light in my heart. I love to work with metal and gemstones to express my theme. The reason is that metal - a relatively strong material, which fit my theme of pursuing happiness which is ephemeral and eternal.
