DROPS, 2025, London

A symbol of occupation and surrender, the jewellery makes power visible on the body. It honours the one who surrenders, turning shame into pride through an act of rebellion: what was meant to be hidden is now worn, seen and claimed.

DROPS is a project for HSIUNG® exploring desire, surrender and power through sculptural jewellery, photography and moving image. Beginning with the trace of semen on the body, it translates a fleeting mark of intimacy into something deliberately worn and claimed. Drawing on the protective symbolism of jewellery in Chinese culture, the pieces become contemporary talismans, turning shame into pride and giving the wearer agency over the mark and its meaning.

The accompanying photography and short film explore how power moves between bodies, tracing a progression from domination and possession towards mutuality and shared creation. Surrender becomes a form of connection, while desire opens a space for both vulnerability and self-expression. Across objects and images, DROPS makes intimate experiences visible and considers how wearing them can become an act of reclamation and rebellion.

Concept, jewellery design and art direction by Bobby Zhaocheng Xiong, with photography by Bobby Zhaocheng Xiong, Kangyue Zhang and Bo Fan.
