Zero Or Infinity by Solmaz Niazi

Model: Felien Tytgat

For this project, I returned to my childhood dream: the universe and jewelry. They drew me like two magical magnets into the new cycle of my life. I had no choice, I had to be attracted to them with all my being. This became a path for learning, observation, research, creativity and construction. Inspired by the theory of Substantial Movement by Iranian philosopher Mulla Sadra but also by kinetic art and jewelry, I set out to answer the question: How can I reflect the movement of the cosmos in my jewelry? Experiments with various materials and techniques gave a broader perspective around how science and art intersect. Ultimately, I created seven Cosmotion (cosmos + emotion) jewelry pieces that incorporate movement and are reminiscent of elements of the universe.
