Title:Echoed emotions

Duoduo Lin’s Echoed Emotions collection stems from her observation in life: the repetition of emotions. Her work explores how emotions reappear over time, often unannounced, yet deeply familiar. The collection consists of five groups of works— each rooted in a specific emotion.

 

Working primarily with silver and incorporating varied materials to represent each theme, Lin selects components that reflect specific mental and sensory conditions—reclaimed phone cameras (Tense), incense burners (Expectation), shredded failed paper (Disappointed), organic gourds(Reflective) and fingertouch-like acrylics (Touch myself) which is hinting at self inquiry.

These conceptual choices are supported by technical processes including laser welding, diverse mounting approaches, and kinetic structures, allowing emotional states to take tactile and structural form with clarity and precision.

Lin’s objects are not endpoints but continuations—meant to be felt, traced, and revisited over time, echoing emotional returns that quietly resurface within the self. They encourage reflection, inviting viewers to engage physically and inwardly with their own shifting inner landscapes.

Echoed emotions

This brooch is crafted from oxidized silver and recycled smartphone camera lenses. The silver surface, darkened through oxidation, conveys a subdued tension and lingering unease. The camera lens, embedded like a quiet eye, is not singular—it is echoed across the piece in repeated circular motifs, mimicking the relentless gaze of modern surveillance. The repetition evokes the constant, looping anxiety of being watched, a tension that does not fade but resurfaces again and again in contemporary life.
