I have been interested in architecture since I was a child. At the beginning of the century, rapid development began in China, bridges and skyscrapers rose up everywhere and transformed the country. I witnessed and observed these changes and they have had a huge impact on the work I make as a jewelry and object designer. I use masculine and strong geometric design elements as a primary feature of my work. I study architectural design as a source of inspiration, focusing on styles that have made an indelible mark on history. The markers of time; steel buildings, electronic equipment, and other objects that profoundly affected the life and behavior of a generation are integrated into my designs.

In addition, European medieval Gothic churches and castles are also a source of inspiration for me. In that era, towering stone buildings that could exist for hundreds of years were born for the first time. For details, I try to create balanced and concise styles, while avoiding too many surface decorations, but maintaining a unique shape on the overall frame. I use 3D modeling and rendering software to design three-dimensional structures and details. In terms of physical output, I use 3D printed castable resin and the process of lost wax casting to make most of my work. The fabrication of sheet metal is also one of my familiar production methods.
