Kai Wang is a London-based Chinese contemporary artist whose practice bridges jewellery design, craft and concept. Working with organic materials and wearable forms, Wang reinterprets endangered Chinese folk techniques such as palm weaving to explore memory, the body and cultural erasure. Through these tactile narratives, Wang reflects on resistance and invites reconsideration of what is hidden, silenced or lost in a rapidly modernising world. Chinese handicraft. Once rooted in daily life, palm weaving now survives only in fragments. Reconfigured into intimate, body-oriented forms, the work becomes a sensory archive of what has been lost and displaced. Crystals are embedded as deliberate interruptions— marking the fracture between material continuity and cultural rupture. New Revolution of Palm Weaving is a wearable sculpture series that reactivates the fading memory of a rural
Jung Hyun Lee is a Korean-born, London-based artist and design strategist whose practice explores rituals, impermanence and the boundaries between object, body and environment. Working with ephemeral materials such as soap, Lee creates sensory sculptures that hold scent, time and memory, challenging divisions between art and function. Lee’s work proposes new relational languages between art, the everyday and ecological awareness. Fade Within is a translucent soap sculpture containing two nested red squares of differing opacities, one saturated and the other diffused. As the object dissolves, the boundary between the reds merges and disappears, transforming fixed geometry into fluid sensation. Soap’s tactile and olfactory qualities evoke intimacy, while its ephemerality questions preservation, ownership and authorship.
Jundan Chen is a London-based multimedia artist whose practice spans textiles, wearable art, glass and metal. Her work examines subtle shifts in materiality and form, engaging with themes of memory, movement and emotional resonance. Through a thoughtful integration of traditional techniques and contemporary processes, Chen creates tactile narratives that blur the boundary between the physical and the poetic. Rootlessness explores the emotional landscape of transition, the fragile and uncertain space between disintegration and regeneration. The work takes the form of a hybrid object, part container and part germinating seed. The sculpture reflects Jundan Chen’s experience of leaving a familiar environment, seeking renewal and forming a new identity.
