Inspired by my Tactical Seed Bomb series, part statement necklace and part bodychain, this piece is a companion to the Salt The Earth Lariat Necklace released in spring of 2025. Whereas the lariat features a single large vial of pink salt, this bandolier features a cascade of twenty-five small salt vials worn across the chest like a sash. With a small but mighty cast metal hammer resting along the hip/upper thigh, it hints at the duality between power and powerlessness, between all-consuming rage and the zen-like ability to let go. The glass baubles can be broken by the hammer (it is quite heavy) to release the salt crystals, salting the earth behind us, but at what cost? Do we value the object over the action? And what is the value of such a symbolic action in a world reduced to political and personal theater?
Freedom in destruction. Destruction in freedom. The choice, such as we are allowed, rests with the wearer.
The piece is a one-size-fits-most silver metallic chain bandolier measuring 150 cm in circumference. Arranged on the chain are 20 glass vials filled with pink Himalayan rock salt, as well as a 5 cm long cast metal hammer attached to a 13 cm long chain hanging at the hip/thigh area. Note that the exact chain pattern may vary slightly but will always be silvery metallic in color.
