The Physical Body bracelet

The Physical Body is a bracelet in the shape of a human thorax, made from 24k gold plated brass with red silk ribbons. The exact shape of the bracelet originated in a collage created by Vika Tonu. The original thorax shape from the paper collage was scanned, enlarged to the dimensions of a wearable piece, and then laser engraved. The piece was subsequently hand sawed, bent into a bracelet shape and gold plated.
