‘The Wearable Chairs’ series extends this inquiry into the realm of everyday objects, reimagining the relationship between body and object. To bring this relationship into focus, elements drawn from the formal language of jewelry—such as necklaces, bracelets, and other adornments—are integrated into the chair’s structure. Sitting thus becomes an act of wearing, and the relationship between body and chair is revealed in a new and unfamiliar way.

02.Imprints of Presence

plated brass, freshwater pearl, cubic zirconia


32 x 73   ×   76 mm
23 × 27 × 17 mm

2025


Jewelry has long been regarded as an extension of the body, a means through which identity is expressed. This work explores the shifting nature of identity through the act of wearing jewelry. When worn with the jewel facing inward, it leaves a subtle mark upon the skin, a trace of its intimate encounter with the body. This trace becomes a quiet testament to transformation, evoking the subtle imprints we leave on one another. As it appears and slowly fades, it mirrors the impermanent nature of our connections over time. 

03.Meta Metal

silver-plated brass,
imitation pearl

2024


The Meta Metal series challenges the convention in jewelry that relegates metal to a supporting role. To bring metal to the fore, the metal is mounted as the “jewel” itself, and rings are built to make the architecture of the setting explicitly legible. In doing so, the series probes the possibilities of metal when treated as a subject.

04.Orbit Ring

amethyst, crystal, druzy quartz, plated brass

30 x 30   ×   40 mm

2024

Orbit Ring is formed by a metal line that pierces a rough stone and then circles the finger. The stone appears to travel the wire in orbit, which gives the ring its title. Using raw, boldly scaled stones, the piece asserts a distinctive, forceful presence.

05.Marykasten

3d printed PLA

300 x 86   ×   80 mm

2024

Marykasten takes the form of a Madonna figure: outwardly an objet, it conceals a compartment for personal belongings within. A drawer is not only a vessel for possessions but also a discreet space that inevitably discloses something of its owner. This work proceeds from a wish to resist that quiet disclosure.
