Senior Thesis Project

Restrictions challenges traditional jewelry by imposing discomfort and limiting movement, creating pieces meant for exhibition rather than everyday wear. Using AutoCAD and 3D modeling, the artist achieved precise, symmetrical designs, which were 3D printed in resin and cast in silver alloy. The process involved learning to model and scale accurately, with room left for future innovation. Embracing discomfort and confusion, the work is driven not by deep meaning but by pure creative curiosity — showing that art can simply be interesting.

"I wanted to create jewelry that restricts movement and creates discomfort, pieces meant to be experienced in an exhibition, not worn daily. For me, art doesn’t always need a deep meaning; sometimes it’s simply about exploring what’s interesting."
