True to inventive form, Yves Tumor is broadening their unpredictable creative reach with the launch of Yves x Daemon’s “Chrysalis” jewelry capsule collection. A nuanced collaboration between Yves and artisanal jewelry brand Daemon Concept, “Chrysalis” merges natural shapes with sharp silhouettes to create a line emblematic of modern culture and the human condition.
A project 2-3 years in the making, “Chrysalis” hinges on butterfly imagery symbolic of the collaborators’ personal and artistic experiences over the course of this period.
“These years the butterflies became a symbol that we could meet across all mediums. The stages of development from chrysalis to the monarch evoke the idea of starting with isolation, and then switching code across metaphysical and biological stages, that echoed moments of life as artists moving between complete isolation and being out in the world.”
Despite renewal, the collection, which includes pieces like ear studs, rings and knuckle dusters, acknowledges that memories can scar. By weaving in harsh elements of armor and blades, the jewelry doubles as a “self-protection essential” – an ode to the violence and enduring trauma women, especially trans women, face. “It’s a research into our preference to never lose fragility, even when fighting.”
Chrysalis collection will be available on Friday, June 3rd, 2022 at 8am PST.
