💎 Marie Festraets

IN CAPSULEVORM

‘How can jewellery design, by transforming medical materials, contribute to the personal and societal handling of illness?

This project originated from a childhood drawing: a pill entering the body through a ring, making everything better again. Drawn during a period when Marie’s mother was seriously ill, this image became the starting point for a broader investigation into illness, identity, and care.

By treating pill capsules with warm water, Marie developed a new raw material that remains recognisable in origin but transforms entirely in form. The resulting jewellery explores the relationship between medicine, ritual, consumption, and healing. Inspired by the way medical objects shape our perception of illness, the work seeks to shift the focus from diagnosis to personal narrative.

Through four jewellery pieces, In Capsulevorm reflects on how jewellery can offer agency, create new meanings, and provide alternative ways of relating to illness and recovery.’

Discover Marie’s work, alongside that of the other 3BA students, as part of NEXIT/26, opening next Wednesday at PXL-MAD.

💎 Rune Vervoort

RUSTRUIMTE

This project explores how patterns reveal my way of thinking as a designer. An inner creative block led me to search for a way of working that creates space for intuition, experimentation, and acceptance.

By transforming feathers and making repetitive incisions in leather, I developed a visual language centered on repetition and variation. The subtle differences within these patterns give the work its character and reflect my ongoing exploration of imperfection and the unpredictable.

At the heart of this project is the idea of an in-between space: a mental place where the critical voice fades into the background, making room for experimentation, failure, and growth. Drawing on my interest in fashion, photography, and the craftsmanship of haute couture, I envision this visual language coming to life in front of the camera, on the runway, or in an editorial setting.

💎 Tosca Ipers

ACTOS

‘Parts of old musical instruments were dismantled, treated, restored, and reworked into wearable jewellery, giving the materials a new lease of life. Hammers, valves, strings, screws, wood, felt, and mother-of-pearl no longer form a playable instrument, but a piece of jewellery that responds to an action. By turning, sliding, unfolding, and folding, a transition is created each time: a state before, during, and after the action.

The ACTOS collection explores how a piece of jewellery can evoke attention, tranquillity, and a sense of familiarity through the addition of a repetitive action by the wearer. The jewellery becomes a small ritual: an action that slows the wearer down, helps them focus, and momentarily isolates them from the hustle and bustle around them. This allows the wearer to concentrate on a subtle movement, a soft sound, or a tactile experience.’

💎 Kayra Rommen

“As a designer, I position myself between the fields of jewelry and graphic design. This is visualized through reduction and stylization. A nod to the two-dimensionality, clarity, and legibility of graphic design, and the conceptualization, wearability, and three-dimensionality of jewelry design. The use of black further reinforces this reduction and stylization by allowing forms to grasp their essence. This essence creates formal recognizability and legibility of the final work and simulates an experience between flatness and spatiality. During my bachelor’s research, I wanted to transform formal restrictions into a strength. By combining the two worlds of jewelry and graphic design, I aim to find my own visual language that never completely detaches itself from two-dimensionality.”

💎 Maud Scheers

Een eerbetoon aan haar

‘Een eerbetoon aan haar is an ode to human hair and to everyone who entrusted me with a piece of their personal DNA. This project places the beauty of human residual materials at its core, materials that often evoke feelings of disgust. Through this work, I aim to reveal the intimacy, beauty, and sense of connection hidden within them.

An essential part of my process is the transition from an individual act of collecting to a social process of donation. The exchange of these materials creates encounters and fosters stronger bonds between people. Inspired by the anecdotes surrounding these donations, I began to work visually. In doing so, I discovered the versatility of hair: at once intimate and deeply personal, yet also everyday and accessible.

I also became drawn to the hair of strangers; for me, there is something profoundly mysterious about it, and the act of creating with such a personal material embodies a great deal of trust. The portraits and jewellery that have emerged from these connections thus become a literal tribute to both the hair and its donor.’

We are proud to present Dilara Schirinzi, one of the master’s students of Object & Jewellery (PXL-MAD School of Arts), presenting her graduation project as part of EXIT/26.

THE SHAPE OF WAITING

The Shape of Waiting encompasses a series of mourning jewellery in which filigree images, written messages, children’s drawings, floral blueprints, and vanitas imagery come together. The jewellery explores not only mourning but also the phase preceding it: holding onto memories, cherishing final moments of closeness, and learning to cope with the impending loss. Fragile fragments of memory are assembled into narrative jewellery. They honour life, even beyond death.

We are proud to present Hanne Verellen, one of the master’s students of Object & Jewellery (PXL-MAD School of Arts), presenting her graduation project as part of EXIT/26.

This master’s project presents a collection of wearable ornaments that make the complex reality of early motherhood tangible.

The ornaments emerge from a material investigation into milk-based polymers and take shape through maternal gestures, actions, and objects.

In doing so, these maternal ornaments invite a renewed dialogue between mothers, artists, and others.

Join us tonight for the opening of EXIT/26 and discover Hanne’s work at the MAD-Gallery.

We are proud to present Yasmine Lemmens, one of the master’s students of Object & Jewellery (PXL-MAD School of Arts), presenting her graduation project as part of EXIT/26 this weekend.

VERWEVEN WAARDE

Starting from traditional textile techniques such as crocheting and weaving, Yasmine Lemmens’ master’s project explores how textile craft can be renewed from a jewellery-oriented mode of thinking.

Through the exploration of atypical materials, digital techniques, systematic formal research, and interdisciplinary approaches, a renewed interpretation of textile emerges in which both innovation and tradition fuse together.

SILENT BELONGINGS

Silent Belongings explores the relationship between humans and materials by transforming discarded objects into wearable technofossils. Throughout the creative process, plastic, metal, and electronic remnants enter into a dialogue with the maker, acquiring new functions and meanings. Through their distinctive forms and material qualities, these technofossils raise questions about sustainability, consumption, and our relationship with the materials that surround us.

We are proud to present Marie Van Vyve, one of the master’s students of Object & Jewellery (PXL-MAD School of Arts), presenting her graduation project as part of EXIT/26 this weekend.

INTERSPACES

Interspaces explores how hidden architectural infrastructures, such as copper water pipes, can be translated into meaningful objects within the interior. By making technical systems visible and tangible, objects emerge in which function, circulation, care, and usage converge. Functionality merges with sensoriality and aesthetics. In this way, these objects re-question the everyday nature of things.
