I see a halo around you

2015-yun-sun-jang-bracelet
technical description

Multiple rings fixed together to form a halo-shaped brass bracelet that sits around the hand, decorated with floating elements that feature translucent crystals.

Size 240x65x155mm, 87 gr., 2015

concept

Focusing on social alienation. Contemporary society leads people to become increasingly self-centered and fragmented, a future where we become more isolated by the development of new technology. As if floating in spacesuits but partially connected, yet at the same time alienated from the world. The fundamental idea of this jewellery collection is that by wearing it one creates a spiritual and physical space around the body. A pure space for the wearer to feel safe, housed inside a halo-like protection.
