A radial field of discs and spires extends across the head, forming a structured composition of projection and symmetry. The surface reads as a woven constellation—nodes and lines held in balance, expanding outward in a continuous field. Garnet and onyx punctuate layered Swarovski beadwork, building depth and movement within a measured spatial rhythm. Constructed from patent leather edged in sterling silver, the piece integrates handwork and laser cutting with casting, stone setting, and detailed beadwork. Traditional, multi-generational leather and beading techniques are carried through Indonesian artisans, brought into dialogue with contemporary fabrication methods. Each element is individually formed, assembled, and hand-finished, with faceted sterling silver pyramids capping every projection to define a precise field.
Developed over 190 hours, the work reflects sustained collaboration and technical refinement, with materials integrated into a single language.
