DescriptionWinking eye collar. Pierced metal collar that creates the shadow of a pair of eyes winking on the wearers collar bone when light is shone on it.
The Cinematography collection questions whether shadows can be transformed into a material that adorns the body.
When light shines through the hand-pierced perforated metal pieces, the photograph-like images will appear like a ghost and follow the silhouette of the skin.
The light, shadow and the body work together to create an ephemeral experience, in which shadow appears like a jewel of illusion.
