FÜRİKÂKE

FÜRİKÂKE 

This peculiar amalgamation of owl and yeti, crafted from an assortment of metals, stands as a compact yet striking totem. Its body, primarily forged from silver, gold and bronze, bears the stocky, powerful frame of a yeti. Copper wire forms a layer of shaggy "fur," lending the creature a sense of warmth despite its metallic nature.

The head, however, is unmistakably owl-like. Silver discs form wide, alert eyes that seem to absorb the anxieties of the bearer. The beak, sharply angled and made of polished silver, reflects distorted images—a reminder of how social anxiety can warp one's self-perception.

Despite its fierce appearance, the creature's stance is one of quiet strength. Its feet, heavy , anchor it firmly—a reminder to stay grounded in the face of social turbulence.

This totem serves as both a repository for one's social anxieties and a source of comfort. By holding the Furi, one is reminded that their fears, though real, can be managed. The cool touch of metal against skin acts as a grounding technique during moments of heightened anxiety.

The Furi is small enough to be carried in a pocket or bag, a constant companion and protector against the sometimes overwhelming nature of social interactions. It stands as a personal talisman, a physical representation of the strength required to face one's fears, and a reminder that peace can be found even in the midst of social anxiety.

Krotchy has partnered with Myst, a cutting-edge jewelry company, to bring select creatures into the physical world as wearable art. This collaboration allows participants to carry their inner creatures with them as intimate pieces of jewelry, serving as both a reminder of their personal journey and a conversation starter.
