It was a cute approach from both of them Erin Hayes and Stephen Weibel.. They both meet me separately and ask me to create their Anniversary Ring….
Both of the ring are Silver handcrafted , textured with brush on matte finish patina for the black effect.

Just saw this article today about Modular electronic devices with an integrated communication and sensing system. It seem to be attached to a storage containers, it has a Java component that will show the container status and contents to remote users over the Internet.
Perhaps is useful ha… when you have tons of product goods in storage, and you need to know off hand which one are use most frequently.

Model : Neyumi
Stylist/ Photographer/ Video/ Voice over/ Sound editing : Elsa Kawai
It was quiet a setup, as when i was planning the story for this project. Most of the time, I already preplanned and image what i am looking for before the shoot and a brief idea what is all about.
The idea was base of the qoute from the movie Vicky Cristina Barcelona. Directed by Woody Allen
In that movie it says “Only unfulfilled love can be romantic and love is only beautiful when is incomplete..” ..
The video/photoshoot is about a beautiful women… who can’t love and that can never be satisfied, and she wonder, maybe if she carve herself a heart on her skin will make her know what is love as she wishes someone would desire her to love again..
