Artist Statement

Living in a world filled with different gradients of darkness, childhood memories occupy the purest bright colors. As a child, everything that brought me happiness was considered a toy; As an adult, the increasing complexity of responsibility, keeps me further from simple happiness. I want to create a fantasy world to separate myself from reality. I am currently building Escape Playground, a private environment consisting of kinetic wearable pieces. I expect wearers to imagine a most clear and sunny day as they lay on the grass surrounded by flowers, forget about everything that happens in reality, focus on interacting with each piece and simply feel happiness as children attracted by toys.

 I use precious materials and construct wearables to be delicate, movable, and shiny to make them more attractive to an adult audience. I use mostly silver and clear stones to build small sized kinetic miniatures that stimulate the hands and body to enter a fantasy world wherever and whenever the wearers want.
