Statement

The project " Liberation of Gemstones "aims to explore the new aesthetic possibilities of metal and gemstones in jewellery design by liberating them from their traditional roles and functions. Artist Tong Wu creates a new aesthetic relationship between metal and gemstones through the concepts of infinite reflection and the perspective of observation. This emergence brings forth new considerations and forward-thinking in design aesthetics.
