Metal and flesh.

Pearls are organic gems created by living bodies.

They are formed as natural defence: an organism responding to intrusion.
Layer by layer, nacre isolates the irritant, transforming disturbance into an object of desire.

Inside the enlarged shell, synthetic flesh replaces the organism.

Protection and exposure. Intimacy and containment. Quiet tension between exposure and armour.
