Tip:The phone might be a bunch of garbled codes to open, because I tried! It is best not to open it with a mobile phone, because I am a computer idiot and manually typeset this page myself. ( 。ớ ₃ờ)ھ

I witnessed old people were rejected to get on transportation or rather to enter buildings struggling with scanning codes and proving their identities, especially during the pandemic. The elderly is slowly marginalized caused by the mandatory application of digital lifestyle imposing them to keep up in my country. The adaption process inspired me to create a device which is inspired from the introduction of camera, when people used to think it sucked a part of the soul away in the old days. A video presenting the device is displayed in my work having the resonates with the viewer in a connected vision that will either persist or be forgotten over time. I am looking forward to expanding the tension between art and people, exploring different methods through 2D platform, 3D installations and videos performance. I believe I will be provided with the freedom to empower personal expression and develop a rational logic in decision making to explore the spiritual meaning rooted from diversified cultures that express attitudes on modern society.

I concentrated on the aftermath of our existence as human. My Horseshoe Crab Project discusses how the blue blood of horseshoe crab plays a vital role in testing the Covid-19 vaccine and how unconscious we are in draining another species to extinction. A wire-wrapped biomimicry face mask is there to represent our innocence of deconstructing their lives.I further develop the piece by setting up an installation including a model who is attached by medical tubes which is connected to plenty of blue water filled vaccine bottles.

Wheel tries to break through conventional thinking and explore non-traditional methods. It is inspired by my father’s nomadic heritage in Mongolian culture. Our nomadic ”home,“ a yurt on a cart moving with the seasons, instilled in me a lasting adaptability. While this habit persists, I‘ve cultivated a sense of self-belonging. I designed a 3D interactive installation jewellery with a dual-wearable format, constructed by a gravity-rolling wheel with a track at the outer ring and an openable folding structure in the middle. The two wearers represent my childhood self and my adult self, connected by the intersecting perspectives, documented through video.

TEXTS

Contemporary jewelry is not only a way for me to express ideas but also a medium that company me to move forward. My interest in combining conceptual art and wearable art reflects a desire to challenge conventional notions, as well as my desire to reinvent and redefine jewelry with three key elements - theme, form and wearability. Which also leads me to explore the relationship between people and jewelry, society and jewelry.

My motivation was to immerse myself in an environment that encourages material manipulation and offers a new perspective on wearable design. This is consistent with Mixed Media emphasis on shifting, testing and challenging traditions and definitions.I will be committed to exploring the tension between art, the body, and objects.I aim to combine conceptual art with wearable art, integrating themes, forms, and wearability to create art pieces that transcend traditional definitions.
