應璇 首飾設計 本科預科

作為一個首飾設計師，首飾對于我來說是表達自我視角的媒介。我將自己對周遭的環境和生物的特殊視角，結合運用到首飾的設計中去。并且我利用首飾結合佩戴者的身體這一方式使佩戴者感同身受我想傳遞的信息。

在作品《窒息感》中，以海牛因為海藻的泛濫而缺氧為靈感，我嘗試加入了有關海藻本身的材料去融入作品，比如海藻酸鈉。作品都是圍繞著面部去展開。因為環境和海洋的污染本質上人為因素占比更多，所以我想讓佩戴者感同身受海牛的處境。作品利用泡泡膠這一材料，結合封固在人面部的網狀框架，讓人們從視覺感受到想呼吸卻被外面的框架給阻擋住的痛苦。將金屬氧化成黑色，既想從視覺上讓佩戴者感受到缺氧帶來的痛苦，并且能突出海洋生物在海洋中的絕望。

在作品《暖》系列中，因為我看到有關暖黃色的色調就會發呆，人會感覺很溫暖，看久了視線逐漸會變模糊，我覺得這種感覺很奇妙所以想通過一系列由眼鏡變形的配飾作品的方式表達出來。太陽的光暈給了我靈感，三種不同顏色從淺到深。因此用uv膠這一材料來當成品主要的部分。uv膠的透明、透光性能很好的表達我想傳遞的概念。

As a jewellery designer, jewellery is a medium for me to express my unique perspective on the world around us. I combine my vision with the design of the jewellery and use the way the jewellery interacts with the wearer's body to convey the message I want to convey.

In my work <Suffocation>, I was inspired by the fact that man-made factors contribute significantly to the lack of oxygen in manatees due to the proliferation of seaweed. I attempted to incorporate materials related to seaweed into the work, such as sodium alginate. The work revolves around the face because environmental pollution and ocean pollution are more human-caused, so I wanted the wearer to experience what it's like to be in a manatee's situation. The work uses bubble gum as a material, combined with a net-like framework that is sealed to the wearer's face so that people can visually experience the pain of wanting to breathe but being blocked by the outer frame. By oxidizing the metal to black, I wanted to visually convey the pain of suffocation to the wearer and highlight the despair of marine life in the ocean.

In the <Warmth> series, I become lost in thought when I see the warm yellow tone, feeling very warm, and the longer I look, the blurrier my vision becomes. I find this feeling very fascinating, so I wanted to express it through a series of accessory works that transform glasses. The halo of the sun gave me inspiration, with three different colours from light to dark. Therefore, I used UV glue as the main material for the product. The transparent and translucent properties of UV glue effectively express the concept I want to convey.
