Artist Statement:
(My works are the other part of myself that I had not been aware of or the part that I might have been, but wasn't able to perceive as myself.) They are also portray the image of feelings that I have to my surroundings and people. Therefore each works begins to have its own stories. I try to make all of my abstract feelings and emotions into perceivable entity though the jewelries, and eventually I aim to find my true identity
