ONMOVE
Inspired by the subtle traces of ballet movement, this series of jewelry translates motion into structure.
Form follows body
The principle “Forms follow body” guides my exploration of shape and ergonomics. Studying objects like scissors and handles, I observed how form responds to human gestures and how even rigid materials can drape, sculpting negative space to convey comfort and the presence of the body.
The hand jewelry unfolds across the palm from thumb to pinky, following the hand’s natural curves in an unconventional, sculptural gesture.
Dual-Function – as a carabiner
Beyond serving as hand jewelry, the piece also functions as a bag carabiner. Made entirely of stainless steel, its spring-loaded mechanism ensures reliable snapping performance.
From line, plane, to volume
The pieces began as metal wire draped around my hand, fingers, and bags. I shaped surfaces over the wire for ergonomic comfort, then modeled them myself in Rhinoceros, first printing in PLA and later in stainless steel, capturing the fluid drape of metal on the body.
The spring structure is embedded within the organic form, allowing the mechanism to blend seamlessly into the shape.
