YouJin Seo
YouJin Seo is a multidisciplinary jewellery and object maker based in Seoul and London. Her work merges traditional craftsmanship with experimental and conceptual approaches, exploring the intersections of jewellery, objects, and installations. She holds a Master’s degree in Jewellery and Metal from the Royal College of Art, where she developed a distinctive practice centered on the dualities of human experience and emotion - connection and isolation, presence and absence, order and chaos - exploring how these themes shape our emotional landscapes.
YouJin’s work explores the duality of human experience — connection and isolation, presence and absence, order and chaos—exploring how these themes shape our emotional landscape.
Jewelry and objects, for her, are more than adornment; they are vessels of personal history, holding intangible emotions within their form. She creates sculptural pieces that embody both rigidity and vulnerability, reflecting the delicate balance of existence.
Her work invites touch, reflection, and interaction, transforming the body and space into a dynamic, ever-evolving dialogue. Through these immersive experiences, she urges viewers to confront the fleeting nature of relationships, memory, and identity. Each piece challenges the boundaries between the tangible and the ephemeral, making the audience an active participant in its story.
Through material, form, and structure of her work, YouJin fosters a contemplative space—one where the complexities of modern life can be felt, understood, and connected to, one layer at a time.
