WOMB

“WOMB”
(upcycled jewelry pieces, chain) 

Exploring the notion of anatomical vertical symmetry, this face accessory lines up elements of the female reproductive system with the construction of the face and the neck. The pince-nez glasses embody the ovaries, the triangular center plate represents the uterus and is in the third eye placement-as both exemplify spiritual sacredness, the chain trailing down the chin mirrors the cervix, and the cylindrical center of the choker suggests the vagina. Gold and silver are both used to fuse masculine and feminine connotations, relatively. Finally, the female reproductive system is exhibited glamorously on the face and neck, challenging the status quo of hushing the conversation around female reproduction.
