We are very excited to have this piece in the gallery! David Roux Fouillet's diamond-shaped steel necklace rests on a rotating device and is plunged into soapy water. As each of the diamond shapes emerge from the liquid, a bubble forms over its structure: creating a gently shimmering ephemeral surface, which imitates a real diamond. Fouillet creates a clever and thought provoking way of questioning the value of beauty and preciousness.
“More than its economic value, it is the diamond’s emotional value that fascinates me. By transforming fragile soap bubbles into the king of gems I hope to trigger the imagination of the viewer and question notions of eternity, beauty and material value.” - David Roux Fouillet.
