A jewel a day keeps wrinkles away
Woman and jewellery had been inseparable since time began. Jewellery sets off the charming beauty of women. It enhances and makes women feel special and full of pride.
Contemporary jewellery is an autonomous art form free of limitation. Unlike the traditional jewellery, the value of contemporary jewellery does not lie in the material used, but in the stories behind, the emotion involved, and the feeling expressed. Same as modern women who are not to be judged by mere appearance but should be appreciated from all aspects.
“Jewelry takes people's minds off your wrinkles.”- Sonja Henie. To celebrate women and jewellery together, MANO invites fascinating diverse types of mothers to wear these fantastic jewellery works and the photographer RoHsuan Chen to interpret their silent conversation through her poetic lenses. Here the jewellery works go beyond decoration bringing out personality of the mothers who stand up for who they are and what they do.
A booklet of the photographic work of the jewelleries with the mothers from this unique project has been published by MANO.
媽，不飾嗎？
女人與首飾之間的關係，自開天闢地以來就從未分離過。首飾帶給女人的，除了美麗，還有在他們相互輝映下，由內而外所拓散開來的獨特魅力以及自信。
當代首飾藝術有別於傳統首飾之處，除了在媒材使用上的完全開放自由，價值也不再以材質貴重與否來衡量，更重要的是每一件獨創首飾背後所深藏的故事性以及表現出來的強烈情感與性格。這彷彿就像是現代女人的寫照，女孩羞澀長大成了女人，進入婚姻成了妻子，母親。從一開始是被捧在手掌心的明珠，到必須堅毅的面對社會，家庭所帶來的種種挑戰，亦柔亦剛極富彈性的角色切換，讓女人早已不是軟弱的代名詞。
索妮亞•海妮(Sonja Henie)曾說過：「首飾會讓人忘卻時間的印記」，MANO 慢鏝想要頌揚女性的美好，而策劃了『媽，不飾嗎？』當代首飾展，相信每個女人勢必因為有了首飾的妝點而更加獨特。我們邀請了多位不凡典型的母親，為她們配戴我們所挑選的當代首飾作品，並邀請攝影師陳若軒參與，透過她的鏡頭來詮釋媽媽們與首飾間的悄悄話，這些作品在她們身上不再只是一個裝飾品，而更讓母親們在走出家庭，走出職場後，回到她自己的內心深處，表現出那份柔軟卻堅毅的自信心。
MANO慢鏝已將這次展覽的作品結合陳若軒的攝影，以攝影集的方式出版刊物。
