MARA PERALTA
Maŕa Peralta Studio, or MPS, was founded by Spanish musician and designer Maŕa Peralta. The studio specializes in creating jewelry that embodies resistance, embracing the concepts of ready-made, functionality, uniformity, and attachment. Maŕa combines design and assembly work to bring her unique vision to life. All jewelry is meticulously crafted from polished stainless steel, reconstructed and made in New York, with a unisex design that caters to all individuals. In addition to her jewelry work, Maŕa is also the founder of Cultivated Sound and a prominent figure in New York's mysterious dance music underground scene. Her captivating sound transports listeners to distant universes, blending deep and intricate atmospheres with energetic cosmic rhythms that retain a rawness on the dance floor. In her collection 003 "DESTRUCTION," Maŕa takes inspiration from a dystopian world and transforms it into a romantic utopia. Drawing parallels to her music composing techniques, Maŕa recontextualizes materials and compositions from previous collections, resulting in an evolution for Maŕa Peralta Studio. Collection 003 introduces a youthful and romantic aesthetic while embracing the concept of destruction within order.
DESTRUCTION
“Destruction" was an enthralling blend of sculpture, fashion, choreography, and sonic exploration. Inspired by Maŕa Peralta Studio Collection 003 - "DESTRUCTION," it artfully transformed a dystopian narrative into a romantic utopian vision, inviting contemplation on the delicate dance between chaos and harmony.
This remarkable live performance seamlessly fused diverse artistic elements, celebrating creativity and innovation while delving into the complexities of human existence. Maŕa Peralta's influence, spanning both design and music, left an indelible mark on the audience, resonating deeply with their sensibilities.
