Yuze Pan
Yuze Pan (b. 2001, Heilongjiang) graduated from the Metal Craft and Jewellery Studio at the Central Academy of Fine Arts and is currently pursuing an MA in Jewellery & Metal at the Royal College of Art, London. His practice focuses on applied arts, exploring the properties of metal materials and their extended meanings. His work centres on boundaries, binary relations, and spatial transformation. Rooted in observations of his surrounding environment, he investigates potential connections between cultures, between people and objects, and between events. He draws on this interwoven state of making—together with a sensitive perception of the environment and an ability to synthesise abstractions—to translate lived experiences into works with a distinctive aesthetic language.

I present a series of brooches that combine silver and aluminium through traditional handcraft and modern industrial techniques. I take equipment structures and fleeting moments from my making process as prototypes, translating what is usually hidden behind finished work into form, construction details, and material contrast. For me, the studio environment is not only a source of imagery but also an active influence: I work as both the maker and a constituent element within the process. By staging a dialogue between handcrafted silver and precisely machined, low-saturation coloured aluminium, I explore a symbiotic space where heritage craft and contemporary production can speak together.
