Circle
2022
Human relation, connection, and personal trauma are Ying-Chu’s primary focus. As a material based artist, She use materials as the carrier of emotions, stories and care. The collection of jewellery “ Circles” is inspired by a Chinese literature Dream of the Red Chamber. Little human faces sculpted in white silver, one after another, lined into various circles. Each of us has countless faces and emotions within ourself, these faces and emotions draw a complete circle of who we are. Every circle grows and develops with its own rhythm, containing a whole world of complexity and simplicity. We blossom in the circle of life and the circle of time.
