The concept of "self-standing jewellery" is a hallmark of ABUKU's iconic design. By personifying the jewellery, we express the importance of balance in life. This unique approach not only showcases the jewellery's independence but also invites reflection on the necessity of proactive thinking and action in our life journeys.
The small circular components abstractly represent personal connections, the presence of others, and emotions, all intricately intertwined. This design suggests that various elements in life come together to shape our identities. Furthermore, as the number of links multiplies, the challenge of maintaining independence becomes apparent, highlighting the complexity and richness of our human experience.
These pieces embody ABUKU's philosophy. The glass stand supporting the personified jewellery draws inspiration from the beauty of nature and reflects the Japanese aesthetic principle that "all things are constantly changing." It captures the transient nature of life and the beauty that accompanies it. The characteristics of the glass to appear differently based on light and surroundings encourages us to recognise the diverse perspectives that life offers, inviting us to explore new viewpoints.
