Reimagination of mother's memory through a necklace.

“This series incorporates storytelling into commercial photography, reimagining my mother's memories of her 20s through her old necklace. My mother seldom shares stories about her past, but her jewelry collection reflects how it was like. I believe personal products carry and mark our journey and memory in life. Even when we cannot recall clearly, the jewellery are there to remind us about the past. ”
