Prayer; A Light That Blooms in the Deepest Darkness

Yejin Lee

Summary

Final work

My approach balances emotional storytelling with technical precision. I begin by exploring personal or spiritual themes through sketches and models, then develop them using metalsmithing, resin casting, laser cutting, and 3D printing. Even with digital methods, I hand-finish each piece to preserve the maker’s presence and tactile quality.

This collection explores how jewellery can capture inner resilience—through personal reflection, spiritual struggle, and emotional healing.

Rooted in the act of prayer, each piece is a visual response to emotional states such as desperation, hope, and calm. Inspired by moments of kneeling, yearning, and whispering to the unseen, the works translate intangible feelings into wearable forms.

Using clear resin, brass, and digital modelling, light is refracted and cast into gothic silhouettes—symbolizing how hardship, like darkness, allows light to be seen. The use of UV resin enhances this effect, allowing the pieces to scatter light and create luminous reflections on surrounding surfaces. Chains, beadwork, and layering techniques add a sense of delicacy while maintaining structural balance. The materiality is carefully considered—brass provides weight and warmth, while clear resin adds fragility and radiance. Each element was hand-finished, polished, and assembled to reflect both vulnerability and strength.

These pieces are not just decorative—they are relics of survival, spiritual intimacy, and self-expression.

This is a story of vulnerability, growth, and the beauty that emerges from pain.
