I am a .... Example: Student, Maker, Educator, etc.

I am a Jeweller in Taiwan, my works are are divided into two major directions: 1. Decorations extended from the body—decorations that are exaggeratedly big and thus change the profile and shape of the body. 2. Surface decorations attached to the body-decorations that are tightly covering the body and thus give the wearer new appearance and visual experience.

Through making jewelry, I explain how the overexpress costumes and luxurious jewelry along with Eastern and Western history become the inspiration for my works.
I present Chinese traditional craft as another inspiration of my collection, and display how the surprising flame can be generated when traditional patterns cross upon contemporary jewelry.
