Don’t Dare by Empar Juanes Sanchis

Artist list

Empar Juanes Sanchis

An imposing granite needle, carved like a weapon, Don’t Dare stands as a symbol of resistance, tension, and fragility, embodying the risk-taking necessary to drive change. This piece, along with the rest of Empar Juanes’ series Tensed, reflects her approach to jewellery: constantly pushing the limits of the material. It is not about the desire to fall off a cliff but about the thrill of balancing on the edge. The artist believes that fully experiencing life requires embracing vulnerability. Through her exploration of personal space, she establishes a strong, direct, and wordless dialogue between the wearer and the observer.

Exhibition of the object Don't Dare, a unique piece, as part of the Galeries d'Art de Catalunya (GAC) initiative Women in Art. Celebrating Female Creativity.
