Tel Aviv Brooch

Story type: Belonging

Urbanity offers an alternative means of affiliation at a time when nationality is in decline. The city has become a main factor in self definition. Each city presents a unique set of characteristics influenced among other things by its street grid - at times intricately winding and dead-ended, at times perfectly aligned. The collection offers a stylized interpretation to that familiar pattern. Understood without words to locals and yet anonymous to strangers. Wearing one of the pieces hints on a certain secret shared by only a few and at the same time states membership of the broader, ever-growing urban tribe.
