UN/BOUND — a composite adornment that explores the contradiction between constraint and freedom. Chains unify discrete metallic elements into a single structure that wraps the body, evoking a sense of limitation. Sharp, expressive forms, based on the plasticity of the proprietary typeface GRILLE, clash with this system: they disrupt its order and seem to resist imposed boundaries.The jewelry references themes of oppression and the yearning for liberation, as revealed in Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s short story «Yellow Wallpaper, ” transforming them into a corporeal representation of internal rebellion.
Jewelry Composition
The set includes a choker, a pair of earrings, two shoulder pieces, and a central pendant. The chains connect the elements, forming a unified composition and emphasizing its elongated silhouette.
