"Breath Series" express forms of life that last through repetition of inhalation and exhalation in a bloating form of round pieces. It shows the history of life that begins from intangible breath -eternity and moment, life and extinction, existence and absence. In the images of a dog crouching and sleeping, the face of a child inflating his cheeks, the big breath of an athlete going into a game, became inspirations for my work. The works in 'Breath series' are contemporary jewelry made with special plastic and silver. The use of 3D printing technique provided a way to embody light and solid volume of a breath. And these forms enabled to express a breath of a life and its flexibility.
