saudade.world, is a digital project that explores the mourning of contemporary love. The project engages with jewellery’s capacity to act as a memory token or marker of past loves and brings into question how the medium might function in an increasingly digital age.
In this online space, you are invited to anonymously share a piece of your love history. In exchange for that memory, you will be provided with a piece of digital jewellery; an intangible jewel for a now tangible memory.
