The concept of healing, both physically and mentally, is a pervasive process in human life. For many of us, healing is a cornerstone of existence, a constant companion that sees us through hardships and helps us emerge stronger. This intricate relationship between humans and healing became a focal point for me in my jewellery design journey, guiding me towards a deeper understanding of self-healing.

Through this exploration, I discovered a profound connection between the act of healing and the natural energy of sunlight. Sunlight, a natural force of life and growth, is more than just a source of light or warmth. Historically, humans have always been intrinsically linked to the sun and nature for sustenance, healing, and recreation. Yet, in our digital age, this innate connection between humans and the sun seems to have taken a back seat. The technological revolution, while bringing countless conveniences and advancements, has inadvertently distanced us from the simple yet healing embrace of nature. This shift towards a more virtual existence led me to reflect on how jewellery, an art form so deeply rooted in materiality and physicality, could help reconnect us to the natural world.

I visited museums such as the RISD Art Museum and Museum of Fine Art, where I encountered captivating crystal chandeliers. I realised that the complexity and elegance of the chandeliers are products of repetition on simple, even basic, shapes. Every one of these chandeliers are made of simple structures repeated, rotated, and stacked to form what appears extremely delicate and intricate but is inherently orderly. This finding propelled me to innovate and push beyond my initial constraints on 2D format silicon.

Experiment of which shape can bring the most satisfied visual effect. Throughout these experiments, I aimed to capture visually powerful and satisfying patterns inspired by rounded forms and the soothing qualities they embody.
