Mayelana ne-Great Blue Hole Umgexo

I-Great Blue Hole ingumgexo ogqugquzelwe umgodi wasolwandle onegama elifanayo eBelize. Umklamo uguqula indawo enkulu yemvelo ibe wumumo wobuciko ogqokekayo. Izingxenye zensimbi ezendlalelwe ziphakanyiswe ngezintambo zobude obuhlukahlukene ukuze kwakheke ivolumu enobukhulu nokujula. Kwasetshenziswa ukusaha, ukubumba ngokuncibilikisa, ukufaka i-enameli, ukubeka amatshe, ukuqopha nendlela ye-repousse ukwakha izimo nezakhiwo zobuso. Umgexo ulinganiselwa ku-130 mm ububanzi, 15 mm ukujula kanye no-75 mm ukuphakama, unentambo yamaparele engu-450 mm. Ukunyakaza komzimba kushintsha ukukhanya ezingxenyeni ezendlalelwe.

Ukuqashelwa

Mayelana ne-Umklomelo Webhulonzi we-A' Design Award

Great Blue Hole Umgexo iwinile uMklomelo Webhulonzi we-A' Design Award, ukwaziswa okuhloniphekile kakhulu okunikezwa imiklamo ephawulekayo eyehlukaniswa ukudala, ubuhlakani nobukhali bengqondo. Abawinile beBhulonzi yimisebenzi enobuchule obukhulu nedala ngokumangalisayo eqinisekisa isipiliyoni esibanzi, umcabango nobuhlakani babaklami babo. Great Blue Hole Umgexo ilindeleke ukuba ibe yinto exatshwa kakhulu, edunyiswayo nethandwayo, enobungcweti obuphawulekayo nezinto ezintsha. Lo mklamo owinile uMklomelo Webhulonzi we-A' Design Award uhlanganisa izindlela ezinhle kakhulu ebuciko, esayensi, ekuklameni nasebuchwepheshe futhi uhamba phambili ngenxa yokunaka kwawo imininingwane. Great Blue Hole Umgexo iyanelisa izidingo ngokumangalisayo, ithinta izifiso, iheha imizwa futhi ikhanga ukufuna ukwazi.

Iphakheji Yabezindaba

Ama-credit, amalungu eqembu nemininingwane yobuchwepheshe ehlinzekwe ngumklami.

Izici Ezihlukile: 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.
Izilinganiso Nokupakisha: Width 130 mm x Depth 15 mm x Height 75 mm
Pearl string length 450 mm
Amathegi: silver, necklace, jewelry, natural
Ubuchwepheshe Bokukhiqiza: 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.
Inselele Yokudweba: 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.
Ucwaningo: 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.
Ugqozi: 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.
Ubude Bephrojekthi: The project started in August 2018 in New York, USA, and was completed in May 2019.
Ukuhamba Kokusebenza: 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.
