ABSTRACT
Using the wearer's natural interaction with the environment, the SolarBurst necklace imbues the wearer with a sense of power, of 'superhuman', with each random burst of light. Using a 3-dimensional configuration, the necklace is made up of solar cells in pyramidal structures, reminiscent of power crystals, each solar cell a valued for its materiality, pushing the boundaries of function and aesthetics.
