Living in contemporary society is not easy; stress and anxiety lead to isolation, making it difficult to express one’s inner world. Technology, however, enables a virtual platform for digital communication, which directly interacts with the human body to collect information, play sounds, project images, play mobile games, and more. I combine electronic components with alternative materials, including plastic, wood, resin, and found objects to make digital communication jewelry. It acts as a device bridging the tangible and intangible, virtual and real, while acting as a mirror for self-discovery through communication between people and machines.
