About Kaori Juzu:
Kaori, a Japanese goldsmith residing in Bornholm, Denmark since 2002, uniquely blends her dual cultural influences to achieve a harmonious fusion of Japanese craftsmanship’s humility and refinement with the minimalist aesthetic of Danish design. Her enameled creations are micro-revelations that captivate with enduring allure. Since 2005, Kaori has been invited to participate in numerous group and solo exhibitions worldwide, culminating in her recognition as a finalist for the Loewe Foundation Craft Prize 2023.


About Eighteen Yuan: 
Eighteen (Yihan) Yuan, a metalsmith and jeweler originally from China, embarked on her artistic journey in the United States, earning a BFA in Metal from the State University of New York at New Paltz in 2020. She further honed her craft at Cranbrook Academy of Art in Michigan. Yuan’s creative passion revolves around nature, inspiring her to craft sculptural jewelry that delves into the intersection of human emotions and the natural world. By incorporating narrative materials like ties, soap ends, and maps into her pieces, she invites viewers to contemplate themes of love, loss, and belonging with keen sensitivity.
