The darker the world becomes, the more we must remember to light up the world by ourself.
2073 City Decay X 北魏真書
[Collapse Ring]
One by one, the neon signs in the city are quietly being taken down. What’s being removed are the lights, but what’s disappearing is the shine of the city, the nostalgia of the past, and the traditional Chinese characters on the signs.
The fonts of these signs are reshaped and transformed into the computer font “Zansyu” (北魏真書體) of the virtual cosmos, destruction was turn into the fuel for creation.
A collaborative project with "Zansyu”
The characters "Eternity", "Future", "Togetherness", "Progress", "Shine" and "Love" in "Zansyu" are engraved onto silver rings. it is a record of the era, a brand new creation, and also a reminder for us. In the ruins and decay, these fragments of words become small beacons of light in the darkness. The darker the world becomes, the more we must remember to light up the world by ourself.

About 2073 City Decay
In the collection of 2073 City Decay, there’s four phase combine as a jewellery collection.
Amidst a world of neon lights, where the darkness never fades, a city that sparkles in the night.
Here, in this cyberpunk world, invaders rewrite the norms that once defined our reality. What was once familiar has now become strange, yet strangely familiar all at once. Uncertainty and division reign in this nocturnal metropolis, as some resist in fear while others choose to accept and adapt.
Will this conflicting reality become our new normal?
