Jewellery can contact directly with the human body, which can become a medium for people to express their emotions and personality so that it has unlimited creative possibilities. It’s very important to keep an open mind to explore the diverse possibilities of jewellery, my work spans a wide range, and I also tried all the suitable artistic expressions for different concepts, including video works and installations.
Blessed Ovum describes women’s situation in a society with highly developed technology and extremely low fertility. Inspired by the novel The Handmaid's Tale, which talks about the authority using political power to control the country's fertility rate. As a result, I designed Blessed Ovum as an attempt to reflect that women are unavoidably subjected to reproductive exploitation. There are 5 pieces in this series, including a chastity belt, an ovum extractor, a sex detection collar, a decorative pregnancy belly， and an in vitro cultivation installation.
Handbells is a range of jewellery that creates sound by moving the human body. Jewellery and music have similarities, they both raise people’s spiritual satisfaction and comfort. Inspired by traditional Chinese accessories Bu Yao and Jin Bu, which can produce sounds when pendants on them collide with each other, I would like to explore the relationship between people and jewellery objects through different human behaviours. It can provide a more amusing wearing experience and a kind of psychological comfort for the audience.
The Journey of Microplastics includes two different branches, The Coral Bone and Cage, their core idea is to draw people's attention to microplastic pollution and the urgent hope for a sustainable transformation of the fashion industry. Microplastic pollution is a rising issue that threatens the environment and human health.
In Plastic-like Biodegradable Material, I developed a sustainable and biodegradable material to lessen the abuse of plastic in the fast fashion industry. Inspired by the Ching Ming Dumplings , a kind of dim sum made from glutinous rice flour, rice and mugwort, I experimented making biodegradable materials that are stabl. Finally, I made a biodegradable material with sufficient stability which can replace some plastic used in the fast fashion industry.
In the project Circle, I explored the possibility of the basic element of jewellery- ‘circle’ and changed it into different wearabilities. I tried to break the conventional forms of jewellery, though repeating, overlaying, arranging, or combining multiple basic elements together.

首饰与身体直接接触，是人们表达情感和个性的媒介。它具有无限的创作可能性。我认为以开放的心态探索首饰的各种可能性非常重要，我在创作过程中广泛涉猎，并尝试了多种多样的概念艺术化表达方式，包括视频作品和艺术装置。
《庇佑卵子》 描述了在科技高度发达、生育率极低的社会中女性的处境。该系列创作来反映女性不可避免地受到生殖剥削的社会现象。该系列有5件作品，包括：贞操带、卵子提取器、性激素检测项圈、装饰性孕肚与体外胚胎培养装置。
《铃鼓》是一系列能随着人体的运动而发出声音的首饰。首饰和音乐有相似之处，都可以提高人们的精神满足感和舒适感。受到中国传统配饰步摇和禁步的启发，当人佩戴它们行走时，配饰上的金玉相互碰撞会发出令人愉悦的声音。于是我想通过人们不同的行为来探索人与首饰对象之间的关系，这可能会给观众带来更有趣的穿着体验和一种独特的心理感受。
《微塑料之旅》包括《珊瑚骨》和《笼》两个不同分支，其核心思想是唤起人们对微塑料污染的关注以及对快时尚产业可持续转型的迫切希望。微塑料污染是一个日益突出的问题，具有对环境和人类健康的潜在威胁。
在《可生物降解的类塑材料》开发了一种可持续的可生物降解材料，以减少快时尚行业对塑料的滥用。我受到了清明团（由糯米粉、大米和艾草制成的点心）的启发，最终制成了具有足够稳定性的可代替快时尚产业中部分塑料使用的可生物降解材料。
另外我的《圆》探索了珠宝的基本元素——“圆”的可能性，并将它衍变出不同的佩戴方式。我通过重复、叠加、排列或组合多个基本元素，试图打破常规的珠宝形式。
