The first piece is titled 'The seeds of culture will germinate', and it explores a blend of the Chinese Song culture, mixed with present day influences. Elsa often takes inspiration from noteworthy historical sources, art works and architecture — this penchant for creating the new by exploring the old originating from her upbringing.
ELSA JIN grew up near the cemetery of Emperor Wu, of the Han Dynasty, who was famous for pioneering the Silk Road. In childhood, she spent her time playing with and drawing clusters of Han stone carvings. As she grew older, she realized that this was an essential way to experience history, absorbing this information and inspiration first-hand. This desire sparked Elsa's need for travel, yearning to uncover more inspiration wherever she may be!
