Artist combining tools and sewing, interprets "mother," one of the social identities of women. As a jewelry design student, the artist challenges the concept of jewelry, directly substituting the piercing action of a sewing needle and sewing for the back pin of a brooch, puncturing laundry pearls to transform them into brooches, and repeatedly interpreting the labor consumed by mothers over time through the act of washing. This overlooked labor, passed down between mother and daughter, becomes a kind of ironic "medal" of generational transition.
