Intro
Diya's work thoughtfully considers the close relationship between jewelry and garment through playful strategies of juxtaposition, shifts in scale, and surrealist compositions. These strategies serve to highlight the ways in which both jewelry and clothing mirror the complexity of identity, while simultaneously emphasizing the crucial role the body plays in activating these formats.
