YSSO FOR BREASTS BENNIALE
EXCLUSIVE
YSSO is thrilled to collaborate with art curator, Carolina Pasti, on an exclusive pair of earrings in celebration of her Venice Biennale exhibition, Breasts. The show explores themes of motherhood, empowerment, and sexuality through the representation of breasts in artworks spanning from the 16th century to modern day.
BEST OF BREASTS
Breasts is a major group exhibition celebrating the iconography and symbolism of breasts during the 60th International Art Exhibition - La Biennale di Venezia.
Breasts showcases the diverse works of more than thirty emerging and established artists from around the world, spanning the realms of painting, sculpture, photography, and film from 1500 until modern day. Breasts is comprised of five distinct rooms as well as an immersive and site-specific entryway designed by Buchanan Studio. The exhibition includes surrealist artworks by Giorgio de Chirico, Marcel Duchamp and Salvador Dali's Nude with Snail Breasts. Through the lens of photography, the third room examines the impact of digital media on the representation of breasts. The Surrealist photography of Robert Mapplethorpe and Irving Penn explores unconventional and symbolic representations of the body, moving beyond traditional and literal depictions.
The curator has partnered with Fondazione IEO-MONZINO, dedicating 30% of the exhibition catalogue funds to support the foundation's cause and essential research. The mission of this exhibition is to promote awareness of breast cancer to a broader public through the channel of art.
MOTHER OF THE GODS EARRINGS
The Mother of the Gods design by YSSO, in inspired by the Greek Minoan Snake Goddesses found in Knossos.
These Goddesses discovered in 1903 in Knossos, Crete are figurative sculptured which are portrayed with conspicuously exposed breasts, a powerful symbol of fertility, protection, and female strength. Our Mother of the Gods Earrings seek to pay homage to a time when the female form was not just celebrated but revered. The ultimate statement earrings, they are a modern interpretation of the Minoan Snake Goddesses, aiming to demonstrate the power, strength, and beauty inherent in femininity and reflect the essence of a society that honoured the sacred and maternal from ancient times.
Hand carved by Alexia and Stalo Karides, these earrings are small sculptures.
