E Uiga ia Great Blue Hole Asoa

O le Great Blue Hole o se asoa na musuia mai le lua loloto o le sami e tutusa lona igoa i Belize. O le mamanu e liua ai se vaaiga tele faanatura o le laufanua i se foliga faatagata e mafai ona ofuina. O vaega uamea faapipiiina i luga o le tasi ma le isi ua sii i luga i uaea eseese le uumi ina ia fausia ai le lautele ma le loloto o foliga. Na faaaogaina le ili, faalusi, enamela, tuuina o maa taua, tuituiga ma le repousse e fausia ai foliga ma faatinoga o luga. O le asoa e 130 mm le lautele, 15 mm le loloto ma le 75 mm le maualuga, faatasi ai ma se manoa penina e 450 mm. O le gaoioiga o le tino e fesuiai ai le malamalama i luga o vaega taitasi.

Le Fa'ailogaina

E Uiga i le A' Design Award Apamemea

O le A' Design Award Apamemea na manumalo ai Great Blue Hole Asoa, o se faamaoniga matuā mamalu e tuuina atu i mamanu ese e iloga i le fatufatuaʻi, le atamai ma le poto. O ē manumalo i le Apamemea o mea e iai le tomai atoa ma fatufatuaʻi mataʻina e faamaonia ai le poto masani tele, le mafaufau ma le atamai o tagata mamanu. E faamoemoeina Great Blue Hole Asoa e avea ma mea e vivii tele, ua pelepelea, e iloga i le tomai faapolofesa ma mea fou. O lenei mamanu na manumalo i le A' Design Award Apamemea e tuufaatasia ai faiga sili i le faatufugaga, saienisi, mamanu ma tekonolosi ma e sili ona lelei i le mataituina o mea itiiti. Great Blue Hole Asoa e faamalieina matagofie manaʻoga, pa i manaʻo, faalataina lagona ma faaosofia le fia iloa.

Pepa Fa'asalalau

Fa'amaoniaga, sui o le 'au ma fa'amatalaga fa'atekinisi na saunia e le tagata mamanu.

Uiga Fa'apitoa: This piece reinterprets a monumental marine formation as a wearable sculptural structure through layered metal construction and dimensional assembly. Its distinction lies in translating vast geological space into an intimate bodily dimension, where organic irregularity is balanced with controlled craftsmanship to create a tactile landscape experience.
Fua & Fa'apipi'i: Width 130 mm x Depth 15 mm x Height 75 mm
Pearl string length 450 mm
Fa'ailoga: silver, necklace, jewelry, natural
Tekonolosi Gaosiga: This work involved selecting materials corresponding to the site's visual and spatial characteristics and conducting extensive texture studies. Test pieces were produced to experiment with varied surface treatments and forms. To achieve the desired atmosphere within a limited scale, appropriate techniques were carefully selected. In addition to piecing and sawing, casting, enameling, stone setting, chasing, and repousse were employed. Components were elevated using wires of varying lengths to create dimensional volume and layered depth.
Lu'itau o le Mamanu: The primary challenge was developing a structural system capable of integrating diverse elements into a cohesive form. To achieve the intended atmosphere, careful planning was required for stone placement, setting techniques, and layering. Establishing the correct order of fabrication was critical. Through extensive trial and error, I refined the composition so that each element could coexist harmoniously while retaining its individual presence.
Su'esu'ega: This project represents a research process aimed at translating distinctive natural landscapes and geological formations into the form of jewelry. Through the harmonious arrangement of diverse materials and techniques, I experimented to determine the optimal color relationships, proportions, and structural balance that could effectively convey the site's atmosphere and defining characteristics. The research also explored multiple approaches to articulating organic forms within a controlled metal framework, seeking methods to express natural irregularity with clarity and precision.
Fa'aosofia: Inspired by the Great Blue Hole in Belize, I was drawn to its ultramarine depth and the diverse ecosystems surrounding it. Through visual research and material experimentation, I sought not only to extract its visual characteristics but also to convey the site's atmosphere and sense of mystery. By combining various materials and metalworking techniques, I harmoniously translated a distant, life filled marine environment into an intimate wearable scale.
Umi o le Poloketi: The project started in August 2018 in New York, USA, and was completed in May 2019.
Fa'agasologa o Galuega: Due to its layered colors and condensed elements, the piece offers tactile detail and visual richness to both wearer and viewer. As the body moves, shifting light and depth create subtle variations in perception, inviting closer observation. By bringing a distant landscape into intimate proximity, the work provides a subtle sense of refreshment.
