Furthermore it considers aspects such as terminology and strategies, positioning, prejudices and the significance of content with regard to jewellery.

New member of Klimt02.
The Body is my fascination, and energizes my jewellery practice.
By treating it as a material to be manipulated and a subject to be investigated, I’m able to explore physical dynamics and stretch sensual limits.

Interview to Sungji Yun
The word ‘contemporary’ means ‘now, ‘at this moment’. It is like a reflection in the mirror. I am a contemporary jewerly designer. So, I design a jewelry with what I feel, see, think now. I always try to find new view in my daily life. For example, jazz music, people, society, articles in newpaper, science, book, film, etc.
