Bocen Zhou is an interdisciplinary artist dedicated to exploring contemporary jewelry design. She holds a BA from Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London, and an MA from the Royal College of Art. Inspired by literary metaphors, art historical contexts, and ecological philosophy, her practice revolves around symbiotic relationships within the framework of the Anthropocene. Employing an almost archaeological approach, Bocen brings dust, soil, glass, and pebbles into dialogue, constructing a visual epic on the cyclical nature of matter in the universe. Her work invites viewers to reconsider their connections to nature, time, and others through an aesthetic experience. Her work has been recognized with the Cartier Scholarship 2022 at Central Saint Martins, the MullenLowe NOVA Award Runner-up Prize 2023, and the Marzee Graduate Prize 2023.
