Forged Steel, Sterling Silver, Glass, and 2500 Eyelash Extensions
The fragility of the glass vials that surround the wearer's wrist contrasts the weapon like metal spikes that extend beyond the hand.
The vials are filled with signifiers of femininity, hundreds of tiny eyelash extensions, that would be lost with any sudden or violent movement.
This piece explores the dichotomy between femininity and survival.
The metal strength and toughness that may be necessary for survival limit access, and the ability to be accessed, shattering ideals of femininity.
