The piece is inspired by Neil Hilborn's poem "OCD". The silver petals are composed to look like an angelic figure that embodies the girl in the poem. Luyi rolled copper sheets to make them very thin, cut them into tiny pieces, then fuse them to the silver sheets without using any solder, creating a unique texture and visual effect. She arranged the squares tilted and dangled in order to capture the emotion of how people felt when being left alone, broken and hopeless. She spent time playing with the composition and found the perfect balance between geometric and organic shapes.
Luyi Sun is an art jewelry designer whose work often gravitate towards the concept of fragility in all its forms. She's looking for ways to evoke a sense of emotion resonance, the precious, the vulnerable,the forgotten, are the subjects that interest her. Most of her pieces develop organically during the making, without much preplanning of the finished results. During the process, what she seeks to characterize as beauty has shifted from an traditional aesthetic to a more incidental and abstract appearance.
