Themes of beauty and death merge in the work of Sylvia Ji, whose skull-faced femme fatales are adorned with nightshade and black widows. Her macabre images are both provocative and alluring, a reflections of life’s binaries; beauty and decay, love and lust and danger and desire.
I’m not sure why but Barbie dolls have often inspired creativity. Designers have went on to plug them into soccer tables or create macabre photo series. There is even a beauty contest for the most beautiful Barbie doll held annually in Venezuela. Then there is Margaux Lange’s jewelries. This New York designer creates jewelry pieces from the Barbie doll and her boyfriend Ken. Pendants, earrings and brooches are available on Etsy at prices ranging from $150 to $650.
