About

  I am a Jeweler from Taipei, Taiwan, then soon moved to Shanghai, China when I was only at the age of 12. I went to Academy of Art University in San Francisco, and graduated with a BFA degree in Jewelry and metal art. Through my art, I like to explore on small things in everyone’s life such as what is growing up? Why am I who I am right now? Or even just focus on what and why things affect peoples’ emotion. I like to focus on these types of topics because I feel that the world we are in right now does not let us show who we really are. But the society that we live in expect us all to become a gear that just blends in the society, to become what people so called “normal.” We are not allowed to show are emotion, to pursue what we want.

  I have been working on multiple projects including sculptures and jewelries, using different kinds of materials such as metal and wood. One of the projects that I’ve been working on was about ladders. There were three pieces of small size sculptures, with little stick man climbing ladders. The stick men were made out of coper wire with their heads made out of brass tubes and stones set in the tubes then soldered together. There were different stories behind those three pieces, mainly about how people have to work hard to become good at something or everything, just like climbing ladders.

  Another piece that I worked on was selected to enter the Academy of Art University spring show. It was a casted caterpillar on a piece of leaf with two rings attached on the leaf. The concept behind it was my own childhood, which I used to go out and catch caterpillar with my friends and pet them. By making this piece I want to remind people the naive and innocent that a human being all had when they were still a child, which slowly faded away throughout a process called growing up.
