Hello murder!

For her, Jewelry is more than portable luxury objects, it is a medium for (political) statements. Using large, powerful objects, Dabin Lee tests the boundaries between jewelry and the art object and shouts its viewpoints at the observer, for this purpose, she creates objects made of metal wires using a technique from carpet making, called “tufting”. In her last collection she denounced animal experiments. Now, during the three-month fellowship, she would like to explore the value of possessions and pollution through thoughtless handling of products, from plastic bags to cosmetics.
