Huimin Zhang is an artist specialising in 22ct gold creations. She merges various cultural techniques, including filigree, engraving and European gold and silver thread embroidery, to develop her unique craftsmanship. To complement her handmade 0.08mm gold wire, she even invented a super-low temperature 22ct gold solder. Huimin believes that combining multiple crafts is a way to preserve traditional techniques. Her Mammary Gland series was inspired by her close friend battling breast cancer. She aims to inspire her friend to bloom like summer flowers, reminding us that even brief lives can leave a lasting impact. Using gold and her friend’s hair, she creates unique and beautiful breast flowers, conveying that her friend is irreplaceable and brilliantly beautiful.
