Carla Souto — Wearable Sculptures is an ongoing project on emotion and of a body-adaptable volume. The artist creates adaptable wax pieces and then turns them into jewellery making them unique and complex. This project was created with a continuous dialogue with the client, trying to compile everything the brand represents. Arriving at the horse waxing figure and then the slender and flexible identity.
