volver al paraíso

The leaf appears as a the first garment in history. A connection between body, shame and protection. Rooted in biblical imagery, it carries the complexity of material and immaterial.
The original object is preserved, isolated, made untouchable.
The cpre of the artwork at the same time, it is reproduced.
Copied and transformed through silicone. The material shifts its state.
What once was seperate from the body now moves closer to it, Almost merging with the skin.
The jewelry no longer only decorates,It extends the body —towards a condition where covering is no longer necessary.

Materials: copper, plexiglas, silicone, paper
Techniques: metal work, photocopying, silicone pouring
