Wearable tension

Tension can take different forms. For me the focus is on negative tension, such as stress. Throughout my artistic process, while – quite literally – dealing with tension, I learned to appreciate its beauty and benefits. Like how it can motivate me to get the best results. By working with balloons as a metaphorical material, I aim to cast what is often considered negative in a positive light. With these brooches, I want to make this negative tension bearable/wearable. 

How much tension can you handle?
