5 Ws

who

This project is developed by me, Samantha Sánchez, an Industrial Design student. It is an authorial and introspective project, where I position myself as the main subject of exploration. I am not designing for a mass market or a generic user, but from my own experience, values, and current stage as a designer in formation.

what

The project consists of the development of a collection of jewelry and accessories made from biomaterials, accompanied by an experimental and reflective process trhough a journal. I use jewelry as a medium to question my relationship with objects, consumption, and production, while expressing my personal design philosophy.

when

From January 8th - March 23rd

where

Mexico, Puebla. The project is developed within my academic context (Universidad Iberoamericana Puebla) combining laboratories and workshops.

why

This project emerges from a personal need for introspection and positioning. While I have always been drawn to objects and accessories, I now question the culture of irresponsible consumption that shaped my relationship with them. Rather than rejecting these objects, I choose to confront this contradiction by exploring alternative ways of making that are more conscious, respectful of the earth, and grounded in clear material life cycles. Jewelry becomes a small act of personal resistance against immediacy and an early declaration of the values I wish to uphold as a designer.
