Sum
The Sum brooch is inspired by David Eagleman's story Sum, which reimagines the afterlife as a place where all moments of life are relived but grouped by similarity. In this afterlife, mundane activities are experienced in concentrated clusters—months of brushing teeth, days spent searching for lost items, and years of sleep. This reshuffling makes everyday actions take on new meaning, becoming profound, strange, or even beautiful when viewed outside their usual context.
The brooch features hundreds of carefully crafted holes that cover its surface, transforming the piece into a silver lace. It embodies the repetitive nature of life's small actions. The creation process itself, requiring patient repetition, mirrors the idea in Eagleman’s story, offering a meditative experience as each tiny hole contributes to the whole.
This brooch is made from sterling silver and is 70x70x10mm. Its fastened using a double pin mechanism.
