Growing up in diverse environments has taught me to appreciate a wide range of traditions. The artistry and beauty of different heritages are reflected in the intricate details and distinctive materials used in jewelry-making.
As a goldsmith, I consider it a privilege to craft pieces that tell meaningful stories and capture the spirit of various backgrounds. My deep connection with the natural world also plays a major role in my creative process. The organic forms, vivid hues of gemstones, and delicate patterns found in plants constantly inspire me. Through jewelry, I express this connection and share the wonder I find in the world around us.
Sakura Brooch
c. 2019

My connection with sakura originates from their association with my hometown, Dalian. Dalian, once a small fishing village, is a youthful city deeply influenced by Russian and Japanese colonial cultures. There's an ancient saying that goes, "The fragrance of cherry blossoms comes from the bitter cold." Despite enduring hardships, Dalian remains steadfast in its beliefs, courageously embracing every challenge. This resilience has had a profound impact on my own life, serving as a valuable source of inspiration.

The mystery revolves around how a peculiar feline and its mesmerizing caramel-green eyes possess the power to grant wishes.

It prompts a profound realization of the significance of empathy, selflessness, and the importance of making choices that benefit the greater good.
