Personal Work

These photos are little pieces of my life. Not big events, just small moments that made me pause. A corner of light, a reflection, a texture on a wall, a street scene that felt oddly familiar. I take them when something touches me, even briefly, and I want to keep it. They’re my “right now” archive.

This bracelet project is inspired by the traditional garden windows of my hometown, Suzhou, particularly the decorative window patterns known as 窗花. These windows use repeated geometric motifs to frame views and create layered visual rhythms through light and shadow. Translating this architectural language into jewelry, the bracelet features a continuous perforated pattern that wraps around the wrist, echoing the repetition and openness of garden window screens. Different fabrication techniques are used to integrate a stone setting into the metal surface, allowing the stone to be embedded as a focal point within the patterned structure. The piece explores how architectural ornament, material craft, and scale transformation can converge in a wearable form.
