Part of Nicole Nomsa Moyo’s “Pearl Jam” commission, this tree and necklace are a contemporary tribute to artisanal traditions from Ndebele, South Africa. Their intricate patterns and bold colors emphasize craftsmanship and celebrates fine jewelry-making traditions. The work reflects Moyo’s vision to merge personal and historical influences, bridging the past with present innovation.
This installation is part of the 2024 Annual Design Commission – the 10th edition of the Award.
