This box of chocolates is from the Jinjili shell series. At that time, this chocolate was very popular in China. My father brought me a box when he was on a business trip. I was attracted by the exquisite appearance and the delicious taste. So I took a picture and kept it as a souvenir.

After I get home, I also appreciate and protect these toys as treasures.

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.

Observations and Research
Source of inspiration Silvia Furmanovich's obi series Jewelry. In 2019, I watched a documentary about national traditional culture.
