LOST AND FOUND addresses the objects of power and ownership in relation to gender. It questions how we view the value of objects and subsequently attach meaning.
Following the journey of a woman gone mad, she turns her meaningless, gendered, utilitarian based tools into jewelry. By elevating the value of such objects she thereby elevates her own.
The collection was developed based around the design philosophy that everything has the potential to be valuable. All material utilized was sourced from second-hand stores, deadstock, and random trinkets passed down through generations. To wear an object on the body is to embed it with value.
