Pearls are formed to protect a mollusc from a parasite or grit. The concepts of value in adornment, imposed by patriarchal and heteronormative standards, are outdated. In these photobooth strips, a classic pearl necklaces appears to be absorbed into the face, representing the internalisation of classic beauty standards.

Two photobooth strips. 

These are photos, not wearable pieces. Feel free to make your own using freshwater pearls, sandpaper and eyelash glue.
