I wanted to explore the material more deeply by developing a visual language based on its inherent properties. Because I have been nearsighted since childhood, I have always worn glasses. The transparency and plasticity of acrylic, together with laser-cutting techniques, led me to the idea of making a pair of glasses. At the same time, I am very interested in street culture. I wanted to create a pair of glasses intended purely as an accessory, rather than as everyday prescription glasses or sunglasses. I chose the goldfish—an element often seen in East Asian street culture—as the motif for the temples. The lenses are built from layered forms of water ripples and bones, creating a stronger sense of depth and visual impact. The work is purely decorative and has no functional purpose.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.lapaigallery.com\/collections\/zhangchi-shen-nscadu\" title=\"Zhangchi Shen Collection\"\u003eZhangchi Shen Collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.lapaigallery.com\/pages\/23rd-annual-national-jewellery-student-competition\" title=\"23rd ANJSC Exhibition\"\u003eReturn to 23rd ANJSC Exhibition \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"L.A.
