Vladimir Ivaneanu - Plus One Collective

In my latest works the emphasis slightly shifted to the mechanics theater players use to construct their persona, identity. A process I relate to as the son of parents with 2 different cultural backgrounds. In this perspective my new works can be seen as research to how the Romanian and Flemish blood that runs through my veins shapes me into the person and artist I am.

I have a long-standing love affair with color, the bolder, the brighter, the better. I predominantly work in steel for practical and conceptual reasons.

Maya Stein - Global Design Graduate Show Award

The formal aesthetic of Sol Invictus (Latin for "eternal sun") is inspired by the process of photosynthesis, during which the light and heat of the sun causes plants to produce oxygen and their cell to develop, proliferate, move, and pigmentate. When exposed to heat, the jewelries change their shape, thanks to their nitinol-made framework.
