Black, White, Asian: Objects
These objects are inspired by the functions of the skin, and are printed with the skin pigment cells.
The scarf reflects the skin's decorative and communicative function, and its size is equivalent to that of an average human skin. (on sale in Camberwell, wink wink)
The gloves are inspired by the protective and waterproof functions of skin.

About Me
- sandra berghianu
- Sandra Berghianu studied BA Graphic Design in Camberwell College of Art and is currently on the MA Art & Science course in CSM, London. Fascinated by organic structures and the natural world, Sandra Berghianu’s work often explores scientific subjects, such as biology and chemistry. She is interested in conveying the complex information offered by these subjects in a visually appealing way, remedying the dryness of scientific visuals and information. Sandra has a natural preference for the handmade, and she often chooses this over a sleek designed look. Sandra also has a love for the physical, thus preferring to produce print or 3D work as opposed to purely digital work. Sandra’s ultimate goal is to recreate her passion and understanding for science in other people, using non-traditional and handmade techniques to convey the information.
