Homicides for the tongue

These necklaces, designed with simulation terra cotta gilding bole and gold leaf on hand-cut paper, represent a series of seven tongue twisters embodying the role of aggressor in a homicide against a gay and autistic teenager. Through preciousness and material allure, they attempt to narrate the fragility and illegibility of random acts of violence which appear in mass media, as well as to re-stage inhumane acts not as masks that can be removed, but rather as jewel-like scripts that can be stolen, worn, and performed at will.
