Bin Wen is a virtual jewelry artist, who tries to combine physical jewelry design with virtual design to convey the artistic concept of his works. His graduation design "Self-portrait of Sarcasm in Jewelry” extracts the unique icon that comes from the Megalian (Korean feminism group) to realize his sarcastic jewelry, and notice the gesture, "?", which also shows the small eyes in a racist way. This discovery prompted him to combine the action and the icon to make glasses and accessories that can have two metaphors simultaneously. Because he is interested in the satirical culture on the social network, expressing those people in jewelry is what he thinks about. observing different people who are satirical on the internet and keep good relationships with their friends—learning their speaking tone, habit, countenance, and even their hobby within their relationship with others. Summarizing the characteristics of those sarcastic people on social networks and visualizing them.
