Jewelry

The remains of an art piece or art performance (in LGPII crops of my hair) symbolize the fetish element in art culture. For this reason, I chose to transform the cut strands into a precious material for my jewelry designs. The LGPII jewelry projects shapes were inspired by blade weapons, a reference to the underlying message behind jewelry: status and power. While to the wearer they are an adornment, to everyone else they are a warning to stay away.
I chose the materials carbon fiber, synthetic resin and titanium because they are the technological expression of contemporary design.
