Capsule 1

Combining laser cutting and hand fabrication techniques, this coat brooch features a capsule-like form. While the shape is a visual mimicry, the inner structure draws inspiration from model car axles, designed to facilitate the smooth rotation of ball bearings encased in red silicone rubber. This interactive element aims to provide a playful and satisfying experience, reflecting Caiyang Yin's intention that engaging with this piece would alleviate anxiety and tension.
