YouJin Seo is an multidisciplinary jewellery and object maker based in Seoul and London, using a variety of materials and media to create conceptual and narrative jewellery and objects that people can interact with and find resonant.


She explores the ways individuals shape their identities within the material world. Through the form of jewellery, interactive installations, and objects, she delves into what people observe, consume, how they internalise/fill themselves, and how they choose to present themselves. 


YouJin studied Jewellery and Metal at the Royal College of Art (MA) and Metal Craft at Sungshin Women’s University (BFA). Drawing on her background in jewellery and metal, she focuses on expressing the diverse forms of density through various materials and techniques, exploring art jewellery, body/space installation, objects and furniture.
