Regarding Fluctus Design Collection Jewelry
Fluctus is a jewelry collection inspired by the draped fabric of Roman sculpture. The design translates the folds of classical drapery into carved, flowing patterns that follow the shape of the human body. Each piece measures about 25 by 75 by 18 millimetres. The forms were first sketched, then modelled in three dimensions, printed in wax, cast, plated and polished by hand. Test prints were used to check the details and the comfort of the fit. The collection was created in Los Angeles over four weeks.

As a young designer, I always encourage myself to be intellectually free, instead of being highly specialized in one trajectory in my career. I always believe that knowing multiple disciplines can help me bridge them together. And it is the intersection between these disciplines that will burst out the most creativity.
