Wire, paper, satin ribbon

09/2014

Here I express the role of media in communicating beauty and influencing people in a global concept of beauty. I want to illustrate the role of media in promoting the luxury brands.  To produce and portray the idea behind this piece I used Chanel advertisements cut from a magazine to shape the pearls, as a metaphor for advertising shaping our views of beauty. The off -white satin ribbon wrapped around these spherical forms recreate the pearls typically used by Chanel and the use of the numerous chain wire rings represent the numerous pearls in Chanel designs. We see that it is possible to recreate beautiful objects that have the image of luxury and it is advertising that creates the desire to possess these objects.
