Statement
Decay is part of the journey toward the end of life for all organic matter and is a well-known rule in the world. The meaning of decay is negative and often related to death. People think decay is ugly. In my work, decay is a beauty from a special perspective as if it is a sign of the potential of growing a new life in the process of decline.Through the body of work, I try to explain the vitality behind the original decay in existence. The material that everyone throws away becomes a piece of precious jewelry, the fragility translated into hard metallic substance and the death reversed into a new life. When the garlic peel turns to a brooch, a ring or a pair of earrings, it is no longer useless but becomes the entity of value. Each of the components of garlic peel is growing in their way.
Everyone sees decay pass by time and might feel sad that no way to stop it. However, we can absorb the negative emotion, and translate in the paradoxes in life that reviewed as the beauty of decay.
