septum l

ostrich quill, 14k white gold

2023

septum l is the most materially assertive work in the series—its thick, arcing form and naturally tapered point conveying latent threat held in elegant suspension. the quill’s mass and density amplify its charged presence, rendering it less an adornment than a psychic apparatus.

secured by a minimal clasp of 14k white gold, the object resists decorative passivity. instead, it evokes modes of self-containment and psychological boundary: a wearable architecture for both defense and deflection. its formal economy belies a sculptural intensity that operates on both visceral and symbolic registers.

within the logic of the septum series, l occupies a threshold between identity and impenetrability. neither fully ornamental nor overtly weaponized, it functions as a material proposition—dense, exacting, and unflinching in its containment.
