This brooch is an ingenious use of the traditional Chinese chipping technique, which breaks with the traditional feathering theme of metal chipping. The fairy wings are represented by real feathers, the body part is made of 925 silver and sandblasted, and the tail is decorated with a delicate jade. The shape of the work has been carefully designed after many attempts, so that its center of gravity reaches a reasonable position, no matter what Angle the brooch is worn at, it will not cause flipping. The work uses the traditional Western concept of angel combined with Oriental charm of jade and green dots. Distinguish between the priority and the primary, and use a multi-material method to express the theme. The inspiration for this work comes from an experience in which the author's pursuit of freedom at a young age brought him to a low point. According to the formula G=mg, the force of gravity on an object is positively related to its mass. Majestic wings allow the spirit to fly freely at the same time, its heavy mass and huge volume also give the spirit a huge burden. This pair of profound contradictions reflects human's freedom of mind, yearning for ideals and feedback to you because of freedom and yearning pressure, the combination of Chinese and Western techniques also interpret the pain of all mankind for this contradiction is linked, no one can be immune from its troubles. This warns people that when pursuing the beauty in their hearts, they should also see the pain and cost behind it. All parts of this work can be disassembled and recycled, and will not be a burden on the earth's environment, and strictly follow the purpose of environmental protection.
