Born in 1991 in Taipei, Tzu is an artist who has made jewellery her chosen medium of expression. Her trajectory spans Taiwan and France, culminating in a degree from Beaux‑Arts de Nantes. After several years in the contemporary‑art world—working in studios, publishing and galleries—she returned to her first love: shaping beauty with her hands and heart. In 2024 she trained in silversmithing and lost‑wax technique at Milan’s Scuola Orafa Ambrosiana, then honed her craft through self‑driven work and short workshops in Taipei, Tokyo and with Studio 925 in Manila where she is currently based.
Her work stands at a crossroads between the East that gave her birth and the West she has embraced, between the freedom of Beaux‑Arts that inspires her and the rigor of craftsmanship where she loves to lose track of time. As a child, she watched her mother string semi‑precious stones; on the eve of becoming a mother herself, she has taken up that thread, embarked on this journey.
Shells is her first collection.
