Interviewee:
Lory Sun (she/her)
Tell us a bit about you and why you do what you do. Share your passions for your business, organization, or initiative.
From a young age, I’ve been driven by an insatiable passion for art. My childhood dreams were filled with visions of transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary, and I’ve always been fascinated by the prospect of crafting wearable pieces of art that transcend mere aesthetics. Today, I feel profoundly blessed to be living my dream, dedicating myself full-time to the pursuit of creative expression. It’s an incredible privilege to be able to share my art with the world, and I’m constantly inspired by the opportunity to bring joy and beauty to those who wear my creations.
What is the last thing you read, watched, or listened to that had an impact on you?
I find endless inspiration in the materials I discover, whether they’re reclaimed, repurposed, or freshly sourced. The textures, colors, and inherent stories within each component spark a sense of curiosity and creativity, urging me to push the boundaries of innovation. Every day, I’m driven to conjure something entirely new, as the possibilities seem limitless when guided by the unique character of each material. This symbiotic relationship between materials and imagination fuels my artistic journey, allowing me to craft truly one-of-a-kind pieces that reflect the beauty of experimentation and discovery.
What’s the one thing people would be surprised to learn about you or your business?
Many are surprised to learn that I’m entirely self-taught, having never received formal training in my craft. Through determination and passion, I’ve cultivated my skills and expertise, forging a unique artistic voice.
