THE AFTERTOUCH
THE AFTERTOUCH IS MY FIRST CONCEPTUAL JEWELRY PROJECT THAT WAS INSPIRED BY THE GRILLZ THAT RAPPERS USUALLY WEAR.
I WAS INSPIRED BY THE ROUGHNESS OF THIS TYPE OF JEWELRY AND THE WAY THAT IT REPRESENTS THE HIGHER STATUS OF ONE INDIVIDUAL IN SOCIETY. I TOOK MY INSPIRATION ALSO FROM THE BALACLAVA, THAT HIDES THE FACE COMPLETELY, LEAVING ROOM ONLY FOR THE SHINING JEWELRY, THIS IS WHY IN MY PHOTOS THE FACE OF THE MODEL IS HIDDEN, FINDING COMFORT IN THAT.

I DECIDED TO TAKE IT A STEP FURTHER AND CREATED THE JEWELRY FROM A MOLD OF MY OWN TEETH, MAKING A BRACELET, A RING AND THE TEETH ACCESSORY.
