Pearl play
2026
Participatory sculptural object
A found string of cultured pearls becomes the starting point for a participatory object that explores systems of circulation, exchange, and value. Referring to the cultivation of pearls and their movement through jewellery economies, the work transforms a familiar ornamental object into a playful mechanism of redistribution.
Through a simple game-like structure, pearls are set into motion, gathered, and passed along through a network of openings, creating a dynamic choreography of movement and encounter.
