HAZUKI KATAGAI
JAPANESE, BORN 8TH AUGUST 1983
THE BREATHING
This collection was inspired by the concept of “breathing” as seen in Eastern philosophy. It was created based on Hazuki’s personal motto: “Believe in the power of imagination”. Each jewellery piece is accompanied by specific instructions to trigger the imagination of who wears it. “Breathing” isn’t merely a physical activity, it is also a way to recognize one’s own existence. Furthermore, it stands for life itself. Hazuki incorporated this idea into her collection to make people face their own true self in an honest way, cherishing the connection with others, and growing their awareness about all life on the planet, by visualizing the concept of breathing and how it can empower imagination.
