Skin Modification

March - April 2022

 

The collection draws inspiration from the unique marks on our bodies, celebrating growth, motherhood, and the beauty within imperfections.

​

Using traditional metalworking techniques, each piece in the collection recreates the shape and likeness of stretch marks. Sunlight is also incorporated as an unconventional tool to create tan marks that mimic natural bodily lines, as part of this collection. Resulting in the idea of modifying the skin, into a piece of jewellery. And therefore transforming the “imperfection”, into an embellishment.

​

With this collection, I aim to create a statement of individuality and empowerment, showcasing the unique marks that make us who we are.
