Grip

In rock climbing, the hand is constantly interacting with the surface. The grip, pressure, and friction help keep the body on the route. Every movement leaves its distinctive mark.KHVAT is a jewelry collection that captures the moment of touch. The material seems to memorize the pressure of the hand: the squeeze, the fingerprints, and the smooth deformation.

The project’s metaphor is frozen effort. Instantaneous hand movement transforms into a permanent relief decoration. The trace of the action becomes a form that can be worn on the body.
