With the project ver-anti-lichaamt, Hester Daems proposes an innovative look at the formal language of the skeleton to expose the beauty of matter and its sculptural qualities. The macabre image of the skeleton fades and new aesthetic values are brought to light. All objects created within this project, jewellery and ceramic tableware, have a functional application, just like the skeleton when it was still in the body.
In the jewellery collection, she shows the shapes of the inside of the body: the bone here is no longer the grip of the body but is the jewellery piece itself and needs the body to be worn. In the ceramic dinnerware, the bone becomes a tool for the body to get the necessary food.
