Earth - Saturn [ ⼟ tǔ ]
KTALYST is a series of five short films presenting Inaurem’s limited collection of 3D printed and metal jewellery, designed by multidisciplinary artist Metaraph. Inspired by the Chinese concept of the five elements — Wu Xing, each film depicts enigmatic, otherworldly creatures embodying earth, wood, fire, water, and metal.
The creatures reflect the authentic identities of each model, as the boundaries between subject and character blur. They embody the uniqueness of their own ethnicity and gender identities, using fiction to find a home that couldn’t elsewhere be found.
