Marta is an international student from Madrid, Spain. She is passionate about product design and wants to develop her professional career as a jewellery designer. Next year, she will continue her studies at Goldsmiths University and will study BA in Design. Marta believes that design evolves within society and vice versa, and that design is the key to achieve a better society. Her work shows constant inspiration from artists and traditional art values. For her FMP she has developed body accessories and created a collection called Soma (body in Greek).
Soma is a new proposal for body accessories. It focuses on the beauty of the body which is a concept that the Ancient Greeks attributed major importance to. The project is a collection of shapes that has been created from the body itself suitable for both men and women which aims to break boundaries established by society. The aim of the collection is to allow the wearer to be connected to the past (Greek values) but also to the future, as it manifests how we are breaking the moulds and how society is moving towards an evolution. The pieces highlight specific parts of the body such as the torso allowing us to embrace the nature of beauty that exists in our bodies.
