Cards

Works in 2019-Material substitution of metal and paper

Brooches

Material：Brass, Paper

In today's fast-food era, using cards to display and sell inexpensive jewelry is a way that many brands and businesses are using. These cards are inexpensive and can convey the full message of the jewelry on display.

The seemingly simple paper cards were carefully thought out and experimented with by designers before they were produced. But they are destined for the dustbin after fulfilling their destiny -- to put on, and display, dazzling jewels.

In almost every business district, there are more than two, according to my observations and records from numerous malls, where fast fashion brands such as H & M and Zara Sell Cardboard and plastic bags of jewelry. The jewelry hangs on a crowded shelf, is taken off by the consumer to carry on the simple model on oneself, is not liked by the consumer and return to the shelf. If chosen by the consumer jewelry will be taken away, from the card.

The cards, in most cases I couldn't observe, I thought they were taken home by the consumer and discarded, just as I and most of the people in my questionnaire had done. On rare occasions, I have witnessed a woman quickly unwrap the item on the spot, put the jewelry on, and throw the rest in the trash.

Various inks and waste liquids in the printing industry not only threaten the health of workers, but also pollute the packaging. Paper products in order to add smooth laminating, will not be recyclable, biodegradable. As a kind of industry which is closely related to packing, jewelry also produces pollution. People are buying jewelry all the time, and they're not paying attention.

As a widely used artistic creation language nowadays, displacement is not only the replacement of materials and the reconstruction of forms, but also the remolding of the concept of life style. The pattern of a paper card made of metal; the White Paper on which the card is made is used in the form of jewelry. After the replacement of the material jewelry and back card, even for packaging bags, they become a closely linked whole, to be worn on the human body, no part of the reason to be discarded.
