Los Angeles-based artist Cleon Peterson has worked with Joyride Design and Case Studyo to release two new limited edition pendants entitled LIVE TO KILL, KILL TO LIVE. Available in Sterling silver and a 14K gold-plated option, each iteration is limited to a run of 50 and will come with a 50cm curb chain, as well as a signed certificate of authenticity.
According to Peterson, the pendant “serves as a reminder that life is struggle, but we find liberation through personal responsibility.” Rather than glorify brutality, the artist examines the role violence has played within the scope of history — a “cyclical struggle”, he says, adding that he looks to “provoke reflection on the fine line between survival and destruction, and the complex reality that violence and beauty coexist in the human condition.”
LIVE TO KILL, KILL TO LIVE is available to purchase for $294 USD in Sterling silver and $349 for the 14K gold-plated option.
