Amputation

This brooch is made up of the union of two shapes in different materials. The tubular shape is made of porcelain and the closure on the back. Through copper connections and silver rivets, it holds the lower part in a more organic and warm way made of leather. The leather has been modelled by applying moisture and heat, hardened with wax, it is a very ancient technique that was used to make water containers and be transported.
