寶石 The Gems
身體裝飾可說是人類最原始的本能之一。從歷史上我們也可以發現不管是圖章戒指或胸針，珠寶首飾被視為一種身份的象徵，從其設計意象可反映出配戴者特有的政治或社會階層，而珠寶材料貴重性往往也作為彰顯財富的表徵。我將寶石的切面特徵轉化為3D框線寶石造型，然後藉由3D printer 的機器列印出一個個的尼龍材質寶石，保留做為珠寶首飾裝飾的寶石符號意象，同時將原先貴重珠寶材料替換為尼龍材質從而產生珠寶價值感的衝突性。
Body adornment and decoration have long been a part of human history. From signet rings to brooches, jewellery has been used in history as a status symbol. A piece of jewellery made of precious materials and involving intricate craftsmanship was a sign of the wearer’s power and status. I transform the features of gem facets into gem modeling in 3D frame and with the help of 3D Printer outputting them as gems with nylon material. While remaining symbolic image as gems, I substitute nylon for valuable jewelry, therefore create as a sense of inconsistency.
