Youjin Um

A jewelry artist based in Seoul, South Korea, Youjin Um retains childhood memories in virtual spaces, materialized into wearable objects. Silver, Um’s primary material, recalls for her the purity of childhood. Piercing, her preferred technique, involves rules and repetitive actions, symbolizing the hope embodied in actions requiring patience and effort. Starting with the stable structure of an hexagon, she builds a more solid and sturdy frame, and in the process, gradually transforms its shape.
