Shades of Blue by Yanzhu Lin
In the era of social media, where digital imagery reigns supreme, I'd like to explore the possibilities of merging the digital and tangible within the post-internet landscape. This project aims to discuss the beauty of mundane moments captured through the lens of analog cameras.
It's a collection of imitation gemstones produced by Polyjet, one of the most advanced 3D printing technologies today. The design was inspired by a common technique in gemstone treatments: foiling. Instead of using a sheet of foil, I chose to use photography. The deliberate choice of analog photography as the medium for capturing these moments is intentional, representing a departure from the instant gratification and perfectionism often associated with digital imagery.
Through this project, I seek to challenge the notion of what constitutes valuable memory in a society increasingly obsessed with the digital ephemeral. By immortalising these analog photographs within wearable art, I aim to bridge the gap between the tangible and the digital, inviting contemplation on the nature of memory and its preservation in an everchanging technological landscape.
