Trypophobia

 

Trypophobia: The pathological fear of objects with irregular patterns of holes, such as beehives, ant hills and lotus seed heads.

 

My final project in Jewelry was on Trypophobia, or the fear of clusters of holes. When you have Trypophobia you see the holes as your pores, you see them growing, things inside of them, and i find is an all over unsettling and fascinating concept.

 

My necklace is suppose to give the wearer a visual of that feeling by putting the holes against the skin, its not suppose to be symmetrical or of a pretty texture, but to show what someone with Trypophobiais feeling. 

 

The necklace is made of cast bronze, volcanic stone beads, and a hand made silver chain
