This sculptural necklace is composed of plastic yarn spools, paper tubes, and wooden bobbins — materials historically linked to the textile industry. Each component reflects a different stage of textile production, varying in style, scale, and technique. Transformed into beads, these tools of labor are reimagined as ornaments, mapping the evolution of textile making across time and place. Collected from diverse sources, each bobbin and spool carry the imprint of a different era and purpose, forming a living archive of generational change and industrial history. The work examines the interplay between tradition and progress, industry and memory, while also reflecting on the history of the textile industry and the colonial legacy in Taiwan.
