PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Another Kingdom: Diamond Age continues the chess series set within the Yoomoota Universe, enriching it with the glow of gemstones. It reflects on three timeless patterns of interaction — confrontation, truce, and escape. This chess set captures a moment of silence amid the chaos of battle, when opposing kingdoms realize the futility of war. Here, the pursuit of knowledge and safety outweighs the drive for conflict, opening the path to a peaceful future. The work conveys that true power lies not in weapons but in wisdom — brilliant as a diamond. SPECIFICATIONS: The collection consists of 21 chess sets, each crafted by hand with a combination of techniques. Each set is embedded with an NFC chip — a digital certificate that validates, authenticates, and records the artwork’s ownership and provenance. The materials include metal, enamel and diamonds. PLANET: U2BeBetter EXHIBITIONS: PAD Art + Design 2025 (London); PAD Art + Design 2025 (Paris).
