Split, tear, lesion and hide, these words filled my brain in recently. I supposed that life is worse than death when my face got an inflammation because of the tearing wounds, which stimulated my sensory nerves and made me feel that I had no chance of recovery. So, my first collection was inspired by this experience, that I used make up to pretend I have a perfect appearance, but what under the beautiful skin is opposite. The melting acrylic creates a similar texture of lesion. Those irregularity, colourful, rich texture is encouraging audiences to think about their true appearance.
The second series "Cells" was developed from the "Lesion". During my research, I realized the detail and change of body was so interesting. In order to be better distinguished and studied, cancer cells under a microscope are highlighted in bright colours in medical tests. Those cancer cells are waiting for an opportunity to become cancerous. When I first learned about the little cells from books as a child, I started to image the body is the big world where full of myriad small cells. By enhancing these fascinating structures the come out naturally. Jewellery is the way I can transfer the invisible senses to become something real.
