Pei Wu is an artist who masterfully combines architectural precision with a deeply intimate exploration of human emotions in her work. After studying architecture, she continued her journey in Germany, where she completed her master's degree in jewelry and semi-precious stone design at the prestigious Idar-Oberstein campus (University of Trier) in 2020.
Her work is marked by a fascinating contrast: while her approach is intuitive and focused on direct emotional expression, it is impossible to overlook the strict logic and technical perfection of her final pieces. The main medium of her expression is stone, which she transforms through personal stories and observation of her surroundings into forms that breathe with the viewer. Her works often appear quiet and gentle, but upon closer contact they reveal a surprising tension, weight, and subtle uncertainty that reflects the complexity of the contemporary state of mind.
Pei Wu is considered one of the most promising designers of her generation, as confirmed by numerous international awards, including the Marzee International Graduate Award and her inclusion on the Klimt02 platform. Her works are part of the public collection of the Museum of Design and Fashion (MUDE) in Lisbon, and she has exhibited at major venues around the world, from New York (Museum of Arts and Design) and Munich to Beijing and Tokyo.
With this exhibition, Pei Wu invites us into a world where "we are all alike" – a world where the deepest individual feelings are transformed through the material transformation of stone into a universal language that speaks to society at large.
