UNIVERSITY PROJECTS

Here you’re going to see some projects I made for Politecnico and some from my curricular workshops. Including my first ever print development, which I made during a Workshop with Limonta and MCM. There are also some jewelry studies and some sewing.

CENSOR*D

MOODBOARD

Censor*d is a group project, developed during a curricular workshop with Limonta in Politecnico. Our task was to create an original print for a backpack and the print must have had a word in it filled in with images. Not long time before we started the project we heard the news that during an advert for a Schiele exhibition in London many complained about the naked people on the posters. That’s when we decided to go for the word: “Censored” and chose to fill the letters with nude paintings and nude sculptures and let the letters themseves censore the nudity. The only reference to nudity is a nipple in the center of the asterisk in contrast with the asterisk’s ownmeaning of censorship. From that asterisk we then developped the allover print that’s on the backpack front panel and shoulder strap.

FANTASTIC BEASTS

MOCK UPS

Fantastic Beasts is another group project developed during workshop with MCM at Politecnico. The lion, the unicorn, the phoenix, the carp and the dragon look like they are trying to excape the backpack as if it was a cage. The main inspiration for this project is taken from the street artist 1010 and his optical illusion murals that look like colorful 3D portals.

CRACKLING CRACKS

MOODBOARD

Inspired by a cracking eggshell and then from the natural quartz’s shapes, this parure of a ring and pendant was carved in wax and painted with acrilics.

BLUE PRINTS

WORDS COME EASY

BLUE PRINTS

Starting form a simple labret piercing, I was inspired by Mursi’s women decorative clay lip plaque to shape silver alluminium wire into a spiral-shape. The spiral going down from the lower lip to the chin stands to represent a waterfall of words flowing out of the mouth. The spiral, besides recalling the shape of the african jewel, represents infinity, re-birth, contiuous developement and expasion towards the future.

THE JEWEL

STRIPE BY STIPE

DETAIL

This one is a project from my first year in Politenico. The theme was Stripes and had to be represented and developed in a womenswear outfit mad of top and skirt, in which cuts and pleats would create optical and geometric games. I created a structured skirt composed by many triangles fitting with each others, a color contrast waistband, facing and front piece; and its matching top, cut on the bust line and pleated with a solid color insert on the side and matching facing. The soft color keeps it classic and sofisticated even with the optical effects and doesen’t bother the eye when watching.
