With a strong passion for the cubist art movement, she explores a diverse approach to sculptural form. Incorporating her passion for cross-disciplinary exploration, her works delve into the various potentials for combining metal, glass, ceramics, sculpture, woodworking, and even painting. Her enthusiasm in jewellery focuses on its ability to connect the inner self and the outer Umwelt. As she believes, jewellery is not only like a mirror to reflect the inner world, but also resembles a bridge between the internal and external. She treats her works as a weapon that carries the power of the inner self. Wearing it is like wearing armor.
