"Scar is No More a Scar" ear cuffs by Isabella Liu. |
"Instead of hiding their damaged areas I opted to celebrate and highlight their fragility into a wearable piece of art with a sculptural form and giving them a new life."
Regarding the creation processes of jewellery as a method of self-cultivation, the designer recognized her works as "imperfections into beauty."
"I present this inspirational and hopeful belief that by changing our thinking about life's injuries and by mending them with joy and peace, beauty and illumination can transpire from them."
The design had a dramatic painful story behind it. It follows the same creative idea as another of the artists award winning projects -- Liu's "Scar is No More a Scar" ear cuffs, which received a gold medal of the "Special Council Award."
Liu said that the ear cuffs were inspired by an embarrassing scar on her when she was twelve years old.
Everyone has his or her scar, or unforgettable painful story or history. The designer believes that the best solution for healing is to learn how to face it and strongly overcome it rather than cover up or try to escape from it. Liu hopes people who wear her jewellery can feel stronger and more positive.
