✨ In the boundless darkness of the universe, every star is a brilliance forged by the tempering of time.
This piece is inspired by the movement of celestial bodies. The sharp folds of Fold Forming resemble the turbulent flares on the surface of stars, twisted and deformed under extreme forces, ultimately forming a unique texture. The black enamel symbolizes the infinite cosmos, while the flowing gold leaf represents fragments of light, silently shining within.

✨ Making Techniques:
The copper sheet is cut into strips and repeatedly folded at fixed intervals. Through gradual adjustments, a star-like three-dimensional structure emerges. It is then soldered to reinforce the shape, making it more defined. Enamel is applied to both sides and fired at high temperatures, revealing deep colors and luster. Finally, gold leaf is added to enhance the flow of light and shadow, resembling the trajectory of a celestial body's motion. After meticulous polishing and waxing, the piece radiates its unique vitality, embodying the beauty of power and fluidity.
