Decoration Kit to Resist

Ana Carolina Escobar

Silver nickel, palladium plated cooper, brass

This project is the result of a reflection about the word “resistance”.  I started writing down words that would make me think about this particular concept and from my list I chose 12 words to make a collection of values to wear.  Medals and decorations are given after a meritorious or outstanding service or achievement, but what if we have this values in a box ready-to-wear when we need them for the challenges of everyday life?  Can values be really given or taken away?  Can I decorate myself?  Which one should I wear today?...Tomorrow? How many?  Should I wear the value I’m missing or the one I think I have?
