« The series of jewels, Portable Pleasures seeks to challenge the notions of intimacy and the public realm, two aspects that are involved in the act of wearing jewellery in society.
In my Master’s project, I investigate how jewellery, intended as an ‘apparatus’ of communication and disorientation, offer both to the wearer and viewer, to challenge social conventions in regards to the feminine and the masculine. What happens when a shape reminds us of an intimate area of the human body and is displaced to the public sphere, in the form of a jewel?
The act of decorating the body with these jewels leaves the viewer with no choice but to cross the boundary of the wearer’s intimacy. Can this act create a new order of connectivity and communication between the wearer of a jewellery piece and the viewer that is forced to confront it ? »
