Yejin Wang’s jewellery is inspired by her observations of her mother’s personal experience wearing jewellery and her mother’s overprotectiveness of it. She investigates the sense of security that can be derived from the boundaries established by objects that protect precious jewellery. In particular, the symbolic and symbolic meaning of the open and closed structures on these objects. In this collection, she explores and reflects on the limiting aspects of jewellery and its functionality when clear boundaries are established to protect it.
She further transforms and deconstructs existing structures (security boundaries) that protect jewellery, such as locks, and makes them part of the material. At the same time, she applies a new way of connecting how jewellery is made of precious material and how it is used. She also presents representative objects that are readily available in chronological order to protect target jewellery.
Moreover, her work is a collection of “safe jewellery” that is both “worn” and “stored”. And when worn, her collection has a soothing self-deceptive effect. Yejin’s goal is to provide the viewer with an absurd interactive experience. In this effort, she also presents her thoughts on ‘overprotection’ and ‘security’ in the context of jewellery.
