Zhining Pan

I am an interdisciplinary visual artist working across jewellery, sculpture, and mixed media. She studied Interdisciplinary Visual Art and Economics at the University of Washington, where she developed an interest in the relationship between material practice, social structures, and emotional experience. Her practice explores bodily experience, emotional interaction, and memory through wearable objects and participatory processes.

Drawing on her dual background in art and economics, her work investigates how material transformation and tactile interaction influence emotional perception and social behaviour.

Her recent work focuses on contemporary jewellery as a medium for emotional reflection, transforming discarded materials and personal objects into wearable forms that engage memory, touch, and sensory experience.
