Wishing on Eyelashes (2007-08)
As part of my final project I investigated human rituals. I researched superstitions and one that I found to be common but rather poetical was to “wish on an eyelash” by blowing it off your finger.
If an eye lash can potentially provide you with anything you want, they are a currency of sorts. Therefore, they are valuable, very valuable even. As coveted elements, you must try to preserve them.
I designed a set that included eyelash-catching glasses, matching tweezers to pick the saved eyelashes and a storage system. You then had portable jewellery so that you could always have a fallen eyelash in case of emergency or give them as gifts for your loved ones.
