Cyborg Rainbow
Informed by philosophers like Rosi Braidotti and Donna Haraway, this project utilizes Cyborg and Cyber-punk elements in pop culture to construct this super surreal series. With a flexible adoption of industrial manufactured materials, the pieces in this project is completely constructed by interchangeable parts, that allows the wearers to replace and even remake the jewellery using all those spare "chips and bars". This collection intends to construct a context in which the wearer can experience a fantasy post human future to break the perception traditionally of gender and identity.
