Hot In The Hive: Ballistic Rose From Citizen
Posted in: Uncategorized  | There has always been something so alluring about paradoxical situations and the juxtapositions in life. What symbolizes beauty and romance better than a rose? Tobias Wong creates the Ballistic Rose out of a single piece of Ballistic Nylon, material used for military purposes. The black, rough material is so different from the fragrant, velvety feel of a real rose, but then, that’s the appeal. This Ballistic Rose is in full bloom and lends commentary to the current somber issues in our world today. The Ballistic Rose by Tobias Wong is meant to remind us of the fragility and volatility of our world, but also of the beauty that can still be found in it. Made of a material usually reserved for those that protect, Wong is showing us how simple it is to manipulate our sense of security. The Ballistic Rose is a fascinating and elegant way to accessorize and have your voice be heard. Originally a wry art piece for the New York MoMA, the Ballistic Rose corsage can now be yours. It comes in a replica of a shotgun cartridge box, adding even more tongue-in-cheek appeal to this multi-use, avant-garde accessory.
