While searching the web, I came across
these very interesting images of Jewellery, designed by Hanwen Shen. She
signifies her creations of metal to erogenous zones, focusing on the back of
the body and the nape of the neck. According to definition.com, the
erogenous zone varies from culture to culture over time. For example Asian men
prize the nape of the neck, in which Shen focuses on.
However Shen describes her work as rebelling to the traditional notions of what is compatible with femininity, namely things like lace, silk, velvet and other soft and luxurious materials. Rather her jewellery cosists of fluid shapes and organic alien-like pieces. So I asked the question, what makes these designs so unusually seductive?
Because according to Frugel, bare flesh is boring. Male curiosity is sustained by veiling the erotic site, by covering and exhibiting it at the same time. So in conclusion, I realised that this is not the traditional way to expose the erogenous zone, however it works! The tribal feel of the jewelry through the pointy ends (horns), or the coil like curves creating metal snakes creates an animalistic mood. This only enhances the point of the erogenous zone.
