Ruizhi He

Ruizhi He is a multidisciplinary artist who focuses on exploring the interactions and connections between different media. She examines things around her in a semiotic way and believes that every object has its own symbolic concept. She graduated in Art in Design from the City University of Macau with a Bachelor's degree. During her studies at the Royal College of Art, Ruizhi has been exploring the essence of jewellery. She hopes to give contemporary jewellery new definitions, combining art with multiple disciplines through critical thinking to explore more possibilities of contemporary jewellery art. 

What exactly is a dream? A dream is the pursuit of something elusive, a direction that one's beliefs persistently hold onto, an endless yearning... 

In Ruizhi 's project, she identified the unattained dreams of four different people through interviews. She expresses their regrets through material substitution, deconstruction, and recombination, while also giving these objects new meaning. 

Her work is divided into two parts: reality and virtuality. In the real world, she found a series of stories and objects that made people feel regretful, through interviews. She expresses their regret through material recombination, while also giving these objects new meaning. In the virtual world, she combines digital and material media to provide psychological comfort by compensating for people's past regrets. Ruizhi explores the meaning of objective existence and motion by narrating objects and the flow and variability of particles.

As digital technology continues to develop, people's experiences in the digital world will become closer to that of the real world, and digital products will continue to blend with the physical world. While using these software tools, Ruizhi also considers what kind of impact the digital age can have on our lives. What is the relationship between AI and human subjects and objects? She reflects on how, in the metaverse, we can critically assess the integration of digital or technological aspects into our lives. She seeks to find more possibilities for objects and digitalization at the boundaries of jewellery.
