Wearable Sculpture: The Watchful Eye
This artwork merges functionality with symbolism, presenting itself as a wearable sculpture in the form of a handbag. The piece is imbued with rich textures and layered symbolism, elevating it beyond a simple accessory into the realm of fine art.
The dominant brown tones suggest earthy connections, grounding the piece in nature, while the golden cracked pattern evokes the passage of time and the fragility of our surroundings. The striking blue element creates a bold contrast, symbolizing renewal or water—a vital life force. Central to the piece is the singular eye motif, often a symbol of vigilance, awareness, and introspection.
The craftsmanship cleverly balances utility with conceptual depth, making this sculpture both a statement piece and a functional object. The artist’s signature at the bottom cements its status as a unique creation, blending the boundaries of art, design, and personal expression.
