About Infinity Vessel 可穿戴藝術皇冠

Infinity Vessel 係一頂以可穿戴藝術形式創作嘅玻璃皇冠。每頂皇冠都係度身訂造，只啱一位佩戴者嘅頭形。透過3D掃描記錄頭部嘅準確形狀，然後用傳統工藝以人手吹製玻璃成形。每一件作品都有自己獨特嘅特徵。平均尺寸為25 x 25 x 25厘米。選用玻璃係因為佢嘅脆弱與堅韌並存，以及光線穿透物料嘅獨特效果。呢頂皇冠反映咗佩戴者嘅個人特質。

These seemingly conflicting properties are what make glass such a fascinating material and why it has been used in art and design for centuries.

Glass as the primary material is symbolic of both the fragility and strength of the wearer.

The combination of these seemingly conflicting properties is what makes the Glass Crown such a powerful representation of the individual and their qualities.

Project Duration: Glass crowns are exhibited at the New York Fashion Week 2023
Operation Flow: The operation and flow of the Glass Crown is a blend of traditional techniques and modern technology. The process starts with the creation of a 3D scan of the wearer's head, which is used to create an exact digital replica of the individual's unique head shape.

The finished crown is then thoroughly tested to ensure that it is comfortable to wear and fits perfectly on the head. The flow of the Glass Crown process is a testament to the combination of traditional techniques and modern technology, resulting in a unique and beautiful piece that celebrates the individuality of the wearer.
