Zhangchi Shen, NSCADU

Zhangchi Shen is currently studying Jewellery Design & Metalsmithing at NSCAD University. His work is inspired by the contrast between his past life in finance and his current artistic practice. He explores this evolution as part of his personal process of growth, reflecting on how his journey
shapes both his artistic voice and sense of identity. He transforms these internal tensions into visual and material collisions within his work. Using various techniques, he shapes metal and combines it with enamel or organic materials. The
interaction between these materials and techniques allows emotional and conceptual
contrasts to emerge through form, texture, and color.
