This is Liang shui(Yuheng Zhang), a jewellery artist and maker .
My creative inspiration often springs from the subtle traces found on objects in everyday life. I am fascinated by the sense of the unknown and uncertainty embedded within these marks. Concurrently, I am passionate about integrating philosophical contemplation into my designs, employing methods such as reinterpretation, reconstruction, and simplification to imbue the work with deeper meaning.
As both a designer and maker, I hold that a piece of jewellery is, first and foremost, a visual statement. I believe that a piece must captivate the viewer visually at first glance; only then does its intrinsic narrative have the opportunity to be perceived and explored. Therefore, I prioritize visual impact and strive for a perfect fusion of texture and design concept.
