一件小小的飾品可以隱藏著無數獨特的信息，它是記載著不同故事的載體：無論是友誼、祝福還是生命的階段或者綻放，透過觀察和了解對方的飾品我們可以進行更深層意義上的交流。
A small piece of jewelry can hide countless unique messages, it is a carrier that holds countless stories: whether it is a friendship, a blessing, a stage in life, or a celebration, we can have an in-depth conversation with others just by observing and understanding other's jewelry.

首飾在我眼裡代表著“紀念”的意思。
要說我最喜歡的首飾，我會立馬想到我朋友之前送給我的印有”Aloha”字眼的貝殼項鍊，是她去夏威夷旅行時給我做的紀念品禮物，可能其他人看到或者聽到這個項鍊的描述的時候會笑出來吧，但我非常珍惜這個項鍊，因為說真的我沒有想到我朋友在旅行的時候居然還會想起我，並給我做了一個滿載心意的禮物，這也令我感到我在她心目中所佔著珍貴的一個小地方。我經常會戴著這一件首飾，因為我覺得這個貝殼紀錄著她去沙灘上慢慢搜尋一個稱心貝殼的過程，而不是說冷冰冰的在一個商店買回來的東西，它是一件記錄著她那一段開心記憶的物品，所以我戴著它也會覺得很開心，這樣的首飾可以有好幾種意義，除了送禮人的祝念也有你戴著它時發生的日常事件的意義。
我個人很喜歡這種由自然的一個小元素為重點開始的作品，其實我們很容易忽略的每件小物件都藏著深奧的故事。我家裡也存放著這樣的作品，是我之前飼養的毛毛蟲破繭而出之後，特意留下的蟲蛹和其依附著的樹枝，我覺得這個蟲蛹和樹枝不止記錄著這些迷人生物奮鬥的生命過程，他們慢慢從毛毛蟲轉變到蝴蝶期間的努力和掙扎，它更是展示牠們曾經存在過最美麗的證明。這些來自大自然的飾品並不是一件冷冰冰的死物，而是一個活生生撰寫著生活的載體，只有通過細心的思考和觀察，這些小物件才會為我們綻放出它和其佩戴者獨有的故事。
這些活生生的飾品豐富了我們的生命歷程。
Jewellery in my eyes are memento.
The “aloha” shell necklace my friend gifted me is my all-time favourite, which she made me as a souvenir gift during her trip to Hawaii. Some may laugh reading about this necklace, but I cherish it a lot as I honestly did not expect my friend to think of me when she was traveling, let alone a gift that filled with love and blessings, this necklace reminds me of the precious little place I have in her heart. I wear this piece of jewellery quite often because instead of a piece bought from a store, this was put together by herself after searching through the beach to find the “right” one. This shell documents the delightful trip she went through, so whenever I have this on her positive energy just comes showering through me as well.
I especially adore works that emphasize an element of nature, behind the pieces of jewellery that we usually overlook are stories that speak volumes. I have collected pieces like this at home as well, which are worm pupae and attached branches that I have deliberately kept after my caterpillars broke out of their cocoon, these pupae not only tell the life story of these fascinating creatures, their efforts and struggles as they slowly transform from caterpillars to butterflies, but also beautifully prove their existence in this world. Jewellery like this are not inanimate objects, they are living diaries of life that only through careful analysis, can the stories and thoughts of the people around us be revealed.
Jewellery that are alive and breathing like these enrich our life course.
