Pull the Trigger
Strategy
Since a child I've sometimes been indecisive on making decisions between choices. The desire to pick the absolute best choice results in a lot of time-related pressure.
This is visualization of the consequences of disregarding time.
Concept & inspiration

1. Inspiration - Wanted the jewelry piece convey the serious message in a playful way, as if the overthinking was done on accident.
2. Initial concept - A TNT shape bomb, this version didn’t work in terms of spacing on the wrist and strength.
3. Revised concept - A circular bomb with two versions: silver, & silver with enamel.
Trend research influence: Playful Pieces
Stylus trend forecasting group: “Fun, kitschy escapism – riffing off pop-culture icons from convenience culture.
Retro cartoons and tacky tourist gifts get maximalist color and finishes”
Proof of concept
Interactive element made in Touchdesigner connected to a midi keyboard.
A interactive activity that takes the jewelry pieces and makes them into swirling particles controlled by a keyboard.
The idea was to make a pseudo-retail experience where people could see custom combinations of materials to their liking at the touch of a button (e.g silver with green enamel, gold ring with rubies etc).
Fractured Reality
Strategy
This ring is about the curated influence of media on people & their beliefs. Seeing is believing, and it feels like much of what people think is shaped by what they see online over time.
The design is of a retro cracked tv screen with distorted static.
There is so much going on behind the scenes. If digital media didn’t exist, what would you believe in?
