Hair Clips 1 & 7, 2022
Gold plated silver and lab-grown rubies

My MA graduate collection was a bricolage of my research in the following themes: histories and luxuries of hair; materiality and immateriality; heirlooms; luxury and commerciality.
I was inspired to incorporate rubies as found in my personal familial heirlooms, making new heirlooms that allude to my obsessions with luxury and hair adornment. My processes include epistolary creative writing, collaboration, traditional and contemporary ways of designing, between the analogue and technology, traditional jewellery techniques and contemporary ones that require the use of technologies like CAD and CAM.

I always say that I do not fully conform to any society/culture, rather I am a human of the globe, I belong to a neo-traditional culture, a manifestation of newness; an evolution. It is a culture taken from multiple different cultures and experiences, things that mean something to me and are relevant to my lifestyle; a bricolage of my cultural identity and places I spend my time in. I looked at heirlooms, how we can learn from and through them; uncover new meanings, what they tell us about our ancestors, the emotions they evoke, their materiality and immateriality. I then took what was evocative to me and added other meaningful elements that I could leave for my future descendants.

I am obsessed with hair! I believe that it is an extension of one’s body. If humans in different cultures and civilizations throughout history have decorated their body parts with adornments made out of precious metals and stones, I ask why it is not common to adorn our potency with preciousness in our modern contemporary lives? People in the twenty-first century have made this a plastic-fanatic, mass produced world where hair adornments have become non-precious, disposable and easily replaceable. This approach negates the idea of preserving something for the future generations.

Hanan’s practice in Jewellery Design is a blur between fine arts and fashion; including the exploration of cultural identity in relation to the human experience of society. Being a Neo-Traditionalist, her work is a bricolage of her research in the following themes: Histories and Luxuries of Hair, Materiality and Immateriality, Heirlooms, Luxury and Commerciality. She was inspired to incorporate rubies as found in her personal familial heirlooms, making new heirlooms that allude to her obsessions with luxury and hair adornment.

My MA graduate collection coming soon…

It will be exhibited at the Royal College of Art’s Graduate Exhibition 2022 which will be open for the public:

https://www.rca.ac.uk/news-and-events/events/rca2022/

Backstory:
After graduating from Central Saint Martins with a BA in Jewellery Design, I decided to continue exploring my personal relationship with jewellery, thus embarking on a another journey during the pandemic which was my MA in Jewellery and Metal. I completed my first year remotely in Muscat, Oman before returning back to London for a hybrid education system and finally a full (hindered) experience of an applied art course as the world started to open up during my second year. I researched, wrote, designed, researched, wrote, designed, researched, wrote and designed. Tried, failed, tried again, failed again, again and tried again. On repeat. While this journey is coming to an end, my learning journey has just begun. I realised that my quest for the meaning of jewellery began since childhood. It is an ongoing quest, for I am progressing into the school of life as I walk out of the School of Humanities.
