AFFINITY
Two forms,
held as one.
Affinity begins with two rounded chambers meeting within a single silver outline.
The name speaks to closeness without symmetry being forced: textile and Miao silver, softness and structure, each held beside the other.
THE ART OF BATIK
A pattern
held in wax.
In traditional batik, an artisan draws molten wax onto cloth, protecting selected areas from the dye. Colour enters the uncovered fibres.
After dyeing, the wax is removed with heat, and the cloth is rinsed. The drawing emerges through the contrast between what received colour and what was preserved.
A pattern once sheltered in wax finds a new frame in silver.
MIAO SILVER & TEXTILE
Two curves.
One continuous line.
The double-curved gourd outline frames the black-and-white batik. The Miao silver reverse reveals sculpted motifs, while a single sphere completes the lower curve. The frame, sides and reverse are made of Miao silver.
From the front, the cloth gives the form its pattern. From the side and back, the rounded edge and raised details reveal its depth.
ON THE BODY
A measured line.
A quiet presence.
The gourd form sits beside the jaw as one continuous silhouette. Its rounded lower chamber gives the black-and-white textile a calm visual weight.
A change of angle reveals the thickness of the Miao silver edge and the sculpted reverse. Affinity is read through front, side and movement.

Held in silver.
Open to a closer look.
Rooted in Chinese aesthetics, our perspective begins with the relationship between what is held and what is revealed. Space, contrast and the choice of a fragment give that idea a tangible form.
