“Love”, 2023 | Necklace | Hand Carve, Metal Fabrication | Rock, String, Rope, 925 Silver Wire
“Love” examines the tension between care and control within East Asian family relationships. Irregular rocks are carved and polished into smooth, presentable forms, echoing the way familial love can shape an individual through protection, discipline, and expectation. Strung together as an oversized necklace, the refined stones become a physical burden—the closer they remain to the body, the more difficult they are to carry.
