MEICO (L)

Material: Brass + Silver plated
Model: Earring (pair)
Size: One Size
Collection: NGEI

The MEICO (L) earrings are part of the NGEI collection, inspired by the Kanak artefacts from New Caledonia, a small French island located in the Pacific. The concept of NGEI is to juxtapose the ancient artefacts next to their futuristic version and thus re-question the mutation/adaptation of customs. The research process behind the project has also been a way to come back to my roots, and re question the impacts of colonization on education and identity.
Each object contains specific references taken from travellers’ discovery diaries and traditional legends. The pieces then become much more than simple jewelry, they become futuristic artefacts; « charged with symbols that convey our past values and identities into the future. »

The MEICO (L) earrings are inspired by the the 'huts' of New Caledonia, which are habitations of Kanak tribes . MEICO means "round hut" in Kanak dialect (New Caledonia).

MEICO (L) is a pair (2pcs) of earrings, the front stud is 4,5cm diameter.
