Objects in the artist's life that hold childhood memories are recreated by hand using discarded horsehair, enamel metalwork, and various materials. Tracing tactile memories such as touching her mother's hair during childhood. Yujun's jewellery symbolically transforms and combines trauma and fond memories, communicating the process of self-healing and growth as a woman.
