Necklace: Eternal Memory, 2019
Relics, hair, letters, gold, silver.
"Eternal Memory" is a piece of mourning jewelry which the artist made for his family using materials that belonged to the deceased. A top, a needle and thread, and a medicine bottle are three interweaving metaphors that symbolize three important life stages of the deceased. The top has lost its spindle and is unable to spin, the bandage symbolizes the twisted memories of her childhood, the thimble that symbolizes family is connected to the needle and thread to form an electrocardiogram that is flatlining. The hair, tied in a ponytail, is placed in a medicine bottle together with the family letter, to be a bottle that drifts through life and death. These three parts are combined to commemorate the life of the deceased.
This artwork uses the form of mourning jewelry in order express loss and absence and attain psychological balance. It seeks to contemplate the eternal nature of life, hopes for the soul to transcend physical life despite unbearable pain and the helplessness of losing loved ones. During the process of creation, the artist transfers his emotional dependence upon loved ones to this work.

The epidemic's effects from the past year slowly faded away and we began living and studying as before. After a break of two years, the graduate work exhibition of the Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts resumed in person. This exhibition showcased work from two students who were about to graduate from the Jewelry and Metals Studio.
