The jewellery pieces and object are connected via the medical tube. I focused on the form of flowing happening between pieces. It relates the systems of the human body. When the object and jewelry pieces made a special connection, there is not only them, but also “A space” existing.
This collection uses the aesthetic of functionality belonging to medical eqiupment to present an alternative form for jewellery that extend into the space beyond the body.

Commodification of body
Have you ever considered the impact of the impending era of 3D printing on health and medicine? Could it provide a means to generate personalized medical treatments and body parts? If synthetic organs became commodities, private healthcare treatment might be seen as a bespoke service.

A bottle and a chain
When the viewers keeps distance, they might not notice there is a fine silver chain with the bangle-shaped ring, not only just a heavy glass piece. It has given a hint of having an unconscious addiction of medicine. People usually People tend to ignore their relationship with medicine sometimes, likewise when they looking at this piece, the silver chain would be neglected easily. From the perspective of materials,the heaviness of the glass brought us into moral aspects of medical world too.
The contrast was generated from the heavy glass medical infusion bag and easy-break chain, and from an artist point of view, this sort of contrast is necessarily.
When the viewer interact with this piece, they can hardly move.
