Flat Stomach

Pendant
Stainless steel, thread.
2020

Wouldn’t you love to eat as much as you want and still be able to say you have a “flat stomach”? Easy – given the “Flat Stomach” is a title of jewelry you own. This pendant mimics the shape of a stomach, the one we recognize from our anatomy textbooks and heartburn pill ads. It is roughly the size of an actual stomach, and when worn, it is placed right on top of the real one. But the cold steel texture and the cage-like pattern turn the soft organ into a kind of prison of dietary restrictions.
