Self-Initiated 2010
The ‘Infected’ series is of a range of 3D-printed jewellery pieces, originally inspired by an accidental contamination occurring when inadvertently touching an ongoing experiment with living fungi. As a direct consequence, different kind of bacteria started growing on the profile and new shapes emerged, creating noticeably interesting textures and giving origin to a narrative around the fundamental role that such micro-organisms play in our earthly existence.
As a result, a series of wearable ornaments came to life, encouraging reflections about our bodies’ identities, as informed by the large variety of life-forms which co-exists within it, contributing to make us humans.
