Puzzles

“The brooch is made of four small puzzle pieces pieced together vertically, and they can be separated from the back to form separate small puzzles. Each of the pieces represents an emotion. When we see only one part of it, we may be confused and lost. Only when we put the pieces together can we understand the emotion in its entirety. I see it as a process of organizing thoughts and looking inside. Our various emotions and moods are pieced together, which shows a sense of storytelling.”
