My work is inspired by both macro and micro features from the outside and inside of abandoned architecture. In my jewelry work, I combine rigid and cold, geometric structures with organic materials and forms that reflect warmth, brightness, and hope to be found within these architectural forms. I am fascinated by observing and capturing metaphors from both still and animated objects and juxtaposing them in the jewelry format on the body. @by.xinyu.shi
