- Xinia Guan

Xinia Guan is a Georgia-based art jeweler who was born and raised in Inner Mongolia, China. Xinia draws inspiration from geometry found in the natural world, specifically from the sacred geometric symbol representing the cycle of creation known as the Flower of Life. This symbol not only appears in Xinia's intricate work but also connects deeply with her creative process. The meticulous and meditative technique of hand sawing allows her to transform geometrical shapes from single planes into limitless three-dimensional structures. The overlapping circles, continually stretched and folded in an endless process, represent the different stages of life.
