We always say “the good old days” to express how we cherish our memories. However, what we actually miss are not “days”, but “a time point”. Just like people often say they hope they could freeze the time at that moment. On the other hand, why people wear jewelry is want to commemorate important moments in their life, too.The texture of fluid is expressed through hard brass, presenting the illusion of contradiction between materials, like we turn back the clock and freeze the time. To create a fluid-like form in a metalwork, I selected the lost-wax casting for fabrication, since the wax could melt and flow easily by heated directly. Then the wax models were sent to a casting shop, and the brass works were done after polishing and another post-processing. The characteristic of brass is that the surface is easily oxidized, but it can regain its luster after wiping. Just like our old memories. Although we’re likely to store them at a dusty corner of our busy mind, we can still see their gloss again if we wipe carefully.
