PROCESS | Sculpting “The Wave”
Inspired by the curvature of the necklace, The Wave began in the hands of an artisan. The form was first shaped in clay, then encased in plaster, creating a mold that captured every contour. Into this vessel, liquid latex was poured.
MATERIAL TO METAPHOR
As it dried, the latex transformed — its surface acquiring a supple, skin-like quality. This material proved to be the perfect medium for embodying the necklace’s sensual undulations in a wearable form. Thus, The Wave evolved into a body-suit: a second skin for the Sea Creatures as a styling piece for editorial work and later exhibited by the performers at the reveal.
ALCHEMICAL PROCESS
The accompanying video captures the alchemy of this process: from sculpting raw clay, casting plaster molds, and pouring liquid latex, to the final act of fitting and refining it directly on the body.
