ABOUT
I was born and raised in China. My hometown is in northern China. When I was four, my family and I moved to the south. Those two different Chinese cultures of north and south influence my growing path and the results show up in my personalities and works.
The city that I had lived for thirteen years is called Shenzhen, which is also famous for jewelry. I learned the basic jewelry knowledge in there gradually, I noticed the shortages of the jewelry design in Chinese marketing. That became the most important reason why I decided to study abroad.
After I came to American alone, I finally realized that sometimes emotions can destroy people inside easily. So I want to use metal and jewelry to create something either is about natures or some scenes of daily life that are beautiful and ignored by people. I hope my works can calm people down and let them realize that their life is much better than they thought.
