The Yawning collection draws inspiration from one of the most subtle yet universally shared gestures in daily life — the act of yawning. Artist Long was intrigued by how a single yawn can ripple through a room, quietly passed from person to person, like an invisible thread connecting one being to another.
This spontaneous mimicry reveals an unconscious empathy — a quiet resonance that exists beneath the surface of our interactions. Through metalwork, Long captures the gentle tension and release found in a yawn: the stretch of a jaw, the curve of an open mouth, the soft pull of breath — abstracted into wearable forms that echo the body’s own language.
Yawning is not merely an exploration of bodily motion; it is a poetic reflection on shared human experience. In these quiet, in-between moments, the collection invites us to rediscover the subtle ways in which we are constantly — and tenderly — linked to one another.
