"I'm from Tainan, Taiwan, and I love pink and cute things. Pink elements often appear in my works. I enjoy using different materials for my creations and find handcrafting very interesting. Creating unique patterns and designs is challenging yet fun for me."

PSYCHE

Category: Accessories

Competitions: Taiwan Region

In Greek mythology, PSYCHE represents the embodiment of a butterfly and symbolizes the human spirit. The most beautiful bone in the human body, the ethmoid bone: it supports the brain above and connects to the easily infected nasal cavity and throat below, with human spirit and thoughts relying on it. Resembling a butterfly, it's functionally crucial and romantically shaped. Butterflies are carriers of the soul and immortal shells, carrying meanings of yearning and transcending life and death. Though people may change, love endures. Utilizing the ethmoid bone and the butterfly's appearance as the inspiration for this creation. Adding elements of butterfly knots and pink, creating a collision of cute yet bizarre effects.
