EPHEMERAL ILLUSION
This series of silver and enamel rings explores women’s emotional experiences in romantic relationships—especially the longing, anxiety, and attachment often felt during a first love.
In a patriarchal culture, women are often taught to give, wait, and sacrifice in love. This deep emotional investment can lead to pain when those hopes are not returned.
The rings are shaped like frozen bubbles—smooth and fragile, always on the edge of breaking.
The flowing enamel colors on metal reflect shifting emotions, building up and dissolving over time.
The title Bubble Trace comes from a line in the Diamond Sutra:
“All conditioned things are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, shadows—like dew or lightning.”
It reminds us that love, like a bubble, is beautiful but fleeting.
These works invite us to look again at emotional wounds that are often dismissed as trivial.
Even if love fades like a bubble, the feelings once held are real—and deserve to be seen and respected.
作品关注女性在两性亲密关系中的情感经验，特别是初恋中常见的执着、期待与不安。
在父权社会的情感叙事中，女性被鼓励投入、牺牲与等待，而这种深度的情感投注，也让她们更容易在幻灭中受伤。
戒指的结构如同冻结的泡泡，表面圆润却充满张力，似乎随时会破碎。
珐琅的颜色在金属上流动、晕染，如同情绪在关系中积聚、溃散的轨迹。
作品名“泡影”源自《金刚经》中的偈语：“一切有为法，如梦幻泡影，如露亦如电。”
梦、幻、泡、影，皆为短暂、虚无而不可执的存在。这不仅是对恋爱幻象的回应，也是对自我情感执着的一种审视与放下。
我希望通过这组作品，让人们重新凝视那些被轻描淡写的情感伤痕——它们虽如泡影，却曾真实存在，值得被理解与尊重。
