The BUN earrings are part of the TANEM FUIJA collection, and explore the concept of scarification in a far-flung future. The collection is inspired but the ritualistic crocodile like scarifications of Vanuatu. The work describes a series of futuristic rituals with which hypothetical humans protect themselves from the passage of time and attempt to become invincible and immortal. And materialise with 3 monumental looks and a series of tools.
The BUN earrings are inspired by the look 3 of TANEM FUIJA: BON BAKEGEN which is inspired by the Eternal jellyfish; which can revert its cells back to childhood, reversing the aging process and extending its lifespan. It never dies of old age and is the only animal considered as biologically immortal. BUN shapes take reference in the inside tentacles of the monumental look.
The BUN earring, measuring 52x82 mm, comes in a pair. With its bold and spikey design, these edgy earrings are ideal for a party or a bold look. The name BUN translates to "bone" in Bichlamar, a language spoken in Vanuatu.
