This piece of work is basically a life lesson.
In July 2015 I was excited to ski and shortly after successfully landing a flip, I was in hospital with 1x broken collarbone and 4x broken ribs. A year and two surgeries later I made a ring out of the metal plate that once held my collarbone together. Cool story. At least the internet thought so.
Within hours of posting the project online it had over half a million views, and was picked up by countless newspapers and design magazines around the world. Imgur named it day's most viewed image on the internet, and the pinnacle of New Zealand journalism (Seven Sharp) even did an embarrassing story on it.
I have no idea why the producer put my laundry in the background.
Using the project's online fame I became a minor celebrity in the “jewelry from surgical metal” community.
