Description:
I call this series of works Evolving Materials, with that I want to invite the viewers to pause
for a second and reflect on what the material can tell you. Look beyond of what you know
and instead see what is has evolved into.
The necklaces are made out of used bubble wrap. I open the back of each bubble with a scalpel and then secure different items into its pocket.
Bubble wrap is heavily associated with transport, it’s a way of protecting fragile things we want to transfer from one place to another. With each use, the wrap loses more and more of its function, the bubbles pop and it becomes useless for its original purpose but its history remains. The material develops from its practical nature to a container of stories and secrets. In its lifetime, it has seen different homes, warehouses, cities and countries.In these necklaces I’ve inserted materials such as: used stamps, threads, instant coffee, photos, jewelry fragments and fabric. Small pieces that carry its own history, some stronger and more relatable than others. Just like people, no bubble is the same as another, each carry their own tiny universe, small glimpses into stories that will probably never be revealed.
