ME Necklace
Representative work "EIKON #V.M" 2020
"ME" was born from the desire to create something that could support oneself and others during the difficult period of making and presenting works during the COVID-19 pandemic. It was named "ME" with the wish that it would be "me" for me, and "you" for you. "ME" has various masks and changes its mask according to the emotions of its owner at any given time. I would be delighted if my "ME" could become something for you, and thus, it has been decided to release it as jewelry. The necklace utilizes Justin Davis's technical capabilities to be as close to a sculptural work as possible, and the mask has magnets, allowing its expression to be changed. Also, diamonds are set in the eyes to give "ME" the sparkle of life. Please enjoy the world of JUSTIN DAVIS and KOTARO YAMADA.
