I created this kinetic necklace to commemorate Lizhi Xu, a contemporary Chinese poet, inspired by a poem he wrote - "I swallowed a metal moon/they called it a screw". My design is a cut-away moon, with a gear and screws on the front. As an assembly worker, Lizhi was the "fuel" of the industrial age, an epitome of countless people trapped at the bottom of society. Yet the harsh life didn't deplete his energy, which he poured into poetry, trying to pursue the moon. I used 3D printing to print out components in wax and cast them in pewter, a metal that cannot be soldered. The entire piece was assembled by cold connection to correspond with the concept. There’s a bearing inside to make the front part rotate and rattle.
