The Eye Jewellery Project by Eric Klarenbeek

Design: Eric Klarenbeek http://www.ericklarenbeek.com
Music: Nine Inch Nails http://www.nin.com/
Materials: Contact lens, medical wire (transparant, flexible), crystals
With Thanks to: http://www.fcllens.com
First prototype: 2003
Product: 2008
The lenses are now exhibited at Selfridges, London and can be ordered in your preferred dioptre.

A contact lens becomes jewellery, such as spectacles ever became a representation of our identity. Our fear for imperfectness makes us modify our surrounding and being, striving for virtual perfection. Not being someone we should be, but someone we could be. Aesthetics are more and more based on Photoshop’s capabilities and slightly becomes the norm for plastic surgery, instead of nature. Eye jewellery shows our scientific capabilities while showing the beauty of imperfection.
