Brooch / Abstract

Yiqi Wu. Brooch: Honey Dream, 2016. Silicone, pigment, pearl, coral, zircon, string, 925 silver, bead.. When it comes to dream, everyone has “another me” in his or her heart where both beauty and darkness are acceptable, These unconscious desires are not just resting quietly in the human mind.
. I have dreamed the same dream many times, In my dream, I was a member of the Earth escort, When patrolling at the beach, I was attacked by a gigantic octopus. The octopus wrapped around my body, but it seemingly meant no harm and tried to talk with me. Its magic attraction to me is unforgettable.
. I started from my beloved animated film about dream, “Paprika” directed by Kon Satoshi. It is a colorful surrealism animated film. I used the method of surrealism and abstract to embody my dream in the form of jewelry. The tenuous relationship between dream and self is corresponding to the interactive relationship between jewelry and body.
. The plasticity, permeability and texture of silicone can better show the octopus’s characteristics of soft and ductile. I used the attractive pink and orange as the overall tone. Pearls, corals and zircons are embedded in the sucker of octopus, which makes this kind of marine life more vivid and interesting. The overall texture is fluid, as if it is interacting with the wearer.
. The whole work is a honey dream. The wearer would like to care for this jewelry as tender as a baby. Once you wear it, it feels like entering a dream the work brings you..
