Body modification and Jewelry , since their emergence, has been a unique cultural phenomenon in human society. As things that are independent from the human body, they work as a concrete expression of what human beings want to communicate to the outside world. The hole - on the other hand - marks a negative, tiny space that requires blood, pain and patience, for the connection we voluntarily establish with jewelry as a part of our body, can also be a body jewelry on its own. If the hole is not connected to the jewelry, it still is a special mark of jewelry on our bodies, which belongs to both the human and the jewelry.

Based on thinking of this socio-cultural phenomenon, I focused on making holes in a jewelry's fashion. I selected four rather representative perforations on the human body and I interpreted them in abstract forms, also accompanied by some interviews. Ceramic is a kind of moist material, it can well express the softness of human body. These objects and holes have been exaggeratedly enlarged in order to present the concept more dramatically.
