His jewelry lives between design and craft. He focuses on utilizing CAD program and hand-fabrication to broaden and diversify his expression in making jewelry.
“The process is much more like a fold/sculpted origami. The monotony of different planes generates a whole series of interesting forms which describes the transition from two dimensions to three dimensions. When creating a volume, I explore the interplay between negative and positive, and the juxtaposition between inside and outside.”
