琢 /zhuo/
琢 /zhuo/ is a Chinese word specially used for
describing the process of jade carving and polishing, it also has a
metaphorical meaning of transforming something which is common to something
that is special and precious.
My work is mainly
about the transformation from non-precious to precious in the metaphysical
sense.
As a former industrial jewelry designer, I made the turnaround to my contemporary jewelry journey.
I have dedicated myself to bottle glass, a common material which gives me a strong visual feelingof jade, my cultural origin.
During the process of transformation, I put love, care, time, effort and also risk into my piece.
I hope this kind of concentrated energy can attract people to touch it, to wear it, to feel it, wondering “what is jewelry for me?”
