The Gaia Brooch explores the human figure through the fleeting gestures of life drawing, translating a spontaneous one-minute pose into a sculptural composition. Inspired by my own drawing practice, the brooch captures the body in motion through intersecting lines and organic contours, preserving the immediacy of a moment through form.

Named after the model who inspired the original drawings, the brooch is sculpted in wax wire and cast using the lost-wax process. The fluidity of the drawn line is translated into metal, bridging drawing, sculpture and jewellery through a wearable study of movement, gesture and the human form.
