KAMILA_WASILEWSKA

The inspiration for this collecion of jewellery was the city and its architecture. In particular the city of Warsaw, where the artist lives, with its communistic blocks of flats disfiguring the city but imparting a special character to it and a sense of uniqueness. The main material used by the artis in her collection was concrete as it is the main material that creates the city. It also embodies the heaviness, the severity and the greyness of the city’s concrete environment. The presented collection is also an attempt to focus viewers attention to pollution in the city, to it’s infrastructure (especially to the pavements) as well as the disordered look of the buildings themselves. It is presented in the rings through the embeded strings, metals, plastic and silicone. The objects are there to provoke the reflection over the environment. Moreover they are also to encourage viewers‘ more responsible attitude towards environment, particularly evoking the creative transformation of the city.
