Conceptual wearables exploring twinhood and technology.

Insight
After completing my Master's Degree in Applied Arts at the Royal College of Art, I collaborated with my twin sister Emma to create a series of works under the name 'H2 Design.' Balancing innovation and practicality, we managed to run our highly conceptual projects alongside our commercial work, which involved creating installations for motor shows.

Idea
Building on our collaborative approach, the interplay between fine art and adornment became a prominent theme in our work. Celebrating technology and club culture, we designed hip flasks for psychoactive drinks, modelled after body parts. Our rings replaced traditional gemstones or diamonds with capsules for life extension pills. We also explored themes of twinhood, separation and longing through other works, such as a double-stomach flask for sharing amniotic fluids and a breathing cylinder that united mouths and lungs.

Impact
The impact of our work was notable. We achieved significant media coverage and numerous publications during this period. Our work continues to spark discussion at the Royal College of Art, as noted by Senior Tutor and curator Martina Margetts. Our pieces are also exhibited at the Dallas Museum of Art in the U.S. and the Mumok Museum of Modern Art in Vienna.
