she explains that

« in 2011 …. I spent four months living and studying in Seoul as part of an exchange programme with Kookmin University. It was a great experience that influenced the way I approach the creation of my pieces …… I was inspired by the contrasting architecture of Seoul: its sombre modern buildings intertwined with the colourful and ancient wooden temples and palaces dotted around the city.
How did you translate that inspiration into your work?
« I decided to represent this contrast by juxtaposing different materials, shapes and colours. Like the buildings in Seoul, my pieces show the vulnerability of wood and metal when exposed to time and elements; the layers and colours that slowly transform with the passing of years. Simple in form, but rich in stories and complexities. » (DesignerJewellersGroup)
