PAX BELLUM is presented as an immersive installation. It explores jewellery, armour, and sound as contemporary expressions of protection and identity. Founded by Sophia Bakscha, Daemon Concept operates at the crossroads of bespoke high jewelry and music. Their roots are within the Underground electronic music scene. The brand elevates subcultures through ancestral craftsmanship and high-tech means while embracing interdisciplinary work and collaborations.
The Paris presentation expands Daemon Concept’s ongoing series Dynamic Worship, examining faith and crusader symbolism through contemporary jewelry. PAX BELLUM – Peace Through War, transforms ancestral weaponry into objects of adornment, that symbolically protect and empower the individuality of the wearer.
The models appear as living sculptures in body-hugging silhouettes with intricate metal accents, each accompanied by security figures dressed in ACRONYM technical protective garments and shoes by ROMBAUT. The performance reads as a dystopian-Renaissance painting come to life.
