Sasaki Fumie

Sasaki Fumie’s brooch highlights the interplay between structure and softness. Made from painted stainless steel mesh framed in gold-toned metal, the piece transforms an industrial material into something that appears woven and soft. The fine grid pattern suggests lightness and movement, contrasting with the rigid nature of the medium.

Fumie’s work is characterized by its use of unexpected materials, a sensitivity to surface texture, and an interest in form as both graphic and sculptural. The cloud-like shapes suggest natural inspiration, yet the controlled, repeating mesh structure evokes the logic of textile design. By combining these elements, the brooch bridges craft and industry, tradition and experimentation, inviting the viewer to appreciate jewelry as both an object of adornment and a study in material innovation.
