By fully utilising the material properties of steel and combining them with the symbolic meaning of necklaces, this piece deconstructs the traditional form of books to create a “pocket book that materializes the physicality of reading.” Tiny stories are transformed into pendant necklaces, becoming the visual centerpiece of your outfit. This series features four stories about horses, exploring themes of dialogue, transformation, strength, and formation. The narratives are reinterpreted into wearable forms turning reading into an object, and symbolism into something tangible. Through wearing, the story travels across different spaces. The steel book cover and waterproof pages open and close upon your chest; reading unfolds in the rhythm of your breath. The horse runs through the pages, its footsteps becoming a gentle weight resting against your skin.
❝ At that thought, it took its first step. ❞
Written in French, this short story magnifies a decisive moment. What connects us to the horse in the story is that sudden surge of desire—hesitation born from disbelief, pacing in place, afraid to seize the moment.
But opportunities are fleeting. What finally drives us to move toward somewhere new? Change requires a rare moment of clarity. This story captures that instant of self-awareness like amber, preserving the courage to cross that threshold—held close to your heart, waiting for the right moment.
❝ It made a wish: to move forward along a tangent. ❞
Only you truly know who you are; still unseen by others. In daily life, we present our best selves, completing one task after another. We prepare carefully, never relaxing. Yet the real you is not the visible results, it lies deeper: a resilient self, a powerful inner strength that sustains your elegance and beauty. What does it mean to remain perfect? When will your true self emerge? This story seeks to protect your secret.
❝ To sink into the depths of the self is also an adventure. ❞
Encounters and dialogue hold infinite possibilities. With curiosity and mutual understanding, they lead us toward reflection and unknown experiences. Because I met you, I moved a little further forward. Even a slight shift in perspective can reveal unimaginable landscapes. This story is about remembrance: through a new relationship, we gain entirely unfamiliar sensations. We encounter ourselves—versions we have never seen before.
❝ The sleeping horse had a dream. ❞
What can a horse truly become? In this story, another companion appears, a tree. It is also a story about what a tree can do, though less obvious. Without the tree, the horse might remain ordinary, unable to dream, unable to transform. You may be the horse, or the tree. Together, you might become a poem or perhaps just a dream. Like distant stars, still and far away, quietly watching over you as you sleep.
