Abstract

Observation serves as the cornerstone for all my artistic endeavors. This thesis will explore the nuanced emotions that emerge during and after the observation process. Specifically, it delves into instances where elements in the city I currently inhabit are mistakenly associated with my hometown, providing a platform for expressing my sentiments towards the sweet-scented osmanthus flowers of my roots. The discourse within the thesis extends beyond the realms of contemporary metal and jewelry art, encompassing references to olfactory art and various other crafts as I explore the forms and fragrances of Osmanthus.
