Collectif 5.6 + Évelie Mouila collaboration. Pictures by Adrien Casalis and Laurent Nalin.

The second part of my collection is a series of image of a nude body in which I drilled holes to create a necklace. en I held this actual picture against the sun and the sun going through the holes revealed the shape of the necklace. I used this image to capture the light going through the holes. I like the idea that your body becomes as precious

My pieces live in intimacy with the body. I want that you remember that it is here with you when you wear it. I work around this idea that jewelry can be an intimate and public sensation at the same time. It’s about an intimate feeling of wearing jewelry that only the wea- rer can feels.

I started by taking pictures of thread on the body. My thread caresses the body and follows its lines and also gives new contours to the body. My pictures were a way to discover the body, trying to understand its shapes and contours. I used the picture as an inspiration to design jewelry pieces; I translate all my visual emotion (found by taking pictures) into wearable pieces.
