‘Art is not a technique, it is an expression of the emotions experienced by the artist. -- Leo Tolstoy‘

I was a student cultivated by the traditional education system and a senior student in high school, but it did not affect my pursuit of art. I did not have access to appropriate and systematic learning of art because of busy schoolwork. However, I could paint pictures in my mind without limitation and simply express my own emotions. Hence, art is the best carrier to express one’s emotion, while emotion is also the inspiration of creation.

In my work <Translucent>, the concept comes from the sense of light transmission of plants beneath the illumination of light. I hope to highlight the semi- translucent texture, so I used transparent UV resin to shape the three necklaces. At the same time, I added bright colour from a special liquid resin. The <New self> is a series that I made to emphasize the breakthrough moment, which is also the reason why I adopted the mirror pieces by resin to fix the mirror and to make a desired state without affecting the reflection of the mirror.

The final collection <Grandmother> is the most personalized project in my portfolio. The concept of my creation is to cherish the memory of my grandmother who has passed away for ten years, which is also a record of happy memories of my childhood with my grandmother. Therefore, I chose photos as the raw material to make my work intuitive and clear. Moreover, the embroidery technique also shows my respect to her, because it was her hobby.

The uniqueness of every single contemporary jewellery is the maker’s personality. In such circumstance, jewellery can be a form of memorizing, narrative and self-expression. It has much more shape and space to comfort the maker’s soul and look for bosom friend.

“艺术不是技艺，它是艺术家体验了的感情的传达。—— 列夫·托尔斯泰” 

我是一名中国传统教育体系培养的学生，是今年高三的应届毕业生，但这完全不影响我对艺术的追求。小时候学习的彩铅画让我对色彩的认知有了一个初步的框架，因为课业的关系我的中学时期并没有继续坚持学习美术，但正是因为没有接触中规中矩的系统性学习，让我可以毫无顾忌的去画我心中的画面，不用考虑各种画画技法，只是单纯的感受自己的情绪就足够。所以艺术是表达情感的最好载体；情感是艺术创作的灵感来源。

在我的作品“Translucent”中，我的概念来源于花朵在灯光照耀下的半透明质感。我希望突出作品的半透明质感，所以用透明的UV胶来弱化项链的整体形状，从而突出材料（造花液）的半透明感和鲜艳的颜色。以及在作品“New self”中，我想突出表现突破自我的瞬间，所以我使用UV胶连接镜子碎块，透明的UV胶在不影响镜子反光的前提下很好的将镜子固定成了我想要的状态。

关于“Grandmother”这一系列作品，是我这本作品集中最个人的项目。该项目意在怀念我已经去世十周年的外婆，也是对我童年与外婆快乐回忆的记录，所以我选择了很直观的照片做为原材料来使作品直观又清晰。并且在创作方式上选择了外婆最擅长的刺绣。
