Source of inspiration Silvia Furmanovich's obi series Jewelry. In 2019, I watched a documentary about national traditional culture. In this documentary, I was very curious about the traditional culture of ethnic minorities, so I went to learn about the traditional culture of ethnic minorities in Xinjiang. Based on what I know about them, I made a Xinjiang paper hat. This hat incorporates Xinjiang patterns and uses colors that ethnic minorities prefer.

Artist: So Young Park
Artist's Origin: South Korea
Created: 2017

Observations and Research
So young park's jewelry art form is assembled through harmonic use of wires, small discs, carved patterns, and gold and silver forged textures, creating an elegant but unusual visual form. The use of wires, small discs, textures, and other small elements represents the individual cells that make up the entire life. Each piece contributes to the long and painful process to create beautiful and unusual art forms.

Artist: Emily Botelho
Origin: British
Date: 2017

Observations and Research
Emily was in the fashion industry before, but she felt very pressured in this industry, so she started to develop in the direction of art. Emily's embroidery incorporates environmental textures. During the production process and the travel process, art and nature gradually heal Emily's mind. Shell materials have also been added to some of his embroideries works to make the embroidery works more interesting and special.

I also made a shell poster. This poster uses the most traditional Chinese colors and the most traditional Chinese Raden technology. I hope that in this way, more people will be interested in Raden. I think the way of poster promotion can also make more people understand Raden.
