Neckpiece / OnBody NewTalentsByKlimt02 Geometric Gender&Sexuality

This jewelry series unravels and weaves a "conceptual space" made of fabric and metal. The series examines the dynamics of gender power relations by creating new connections between church floor plans, where there is a fusion of aspects perceived as masculine and feminine, and textile crafts, labeled as feminine, linking women to the domestic space. Through this exploration, the series offers a renewed look at the separations between the feminine and the masculine, the soft and the rigid, and challenges traditional concepts of space, gender, and materiality.
