Luofeier Series｜Life & Death Bangle In the ethnic beliefs of the Luofeier region, death is not disappearance, but the return of consciousness. After the dissolution of the physical body, the soul does not fall into nothingness. Instead, it returns to the domain of the god of life and death—BABAYEGA, awaiting permission for its next incarnation and passage. This ever-circulating path is known among the people of Luofeier as the Unsealed Cycle. The Life & Death Bangle is born from the very core of this belief. Its open circular form deliberately rejects closure, symbolizing a consciousness not yet judged and a destiny still in motion. It is not a finished object, but a state of existence in progress. The central junction stands as a threshold between life and death— it does not point toward an end, it merely marks passage. The surface treatment draws its inspiration from the land of Lofir itself. The metal texture of the Life & Death Bangle speaks in the language of rusted iron, echoing BABAYEGA’s mythic depiction as a being who holds dominion over corruption and rebirth. This rust is not decay. It is memory— time etched into metal. The Luofeier region has long existed within a desert plateau climate: dry, barren, and heavily eroded by wind, desolate yet carried by a piercing cold. Further north, the land transitions into what is known as the Ice Wastes— a highland of extreme cold, thin air, and near-impossible survival. In such an environment, civilization did not learn abundance, but endurance and continuation. The rusted iron texture is Luofeier culture’s response to harsh terrain: it does not conceal erosion, it does not romanticize suffering, it simply continues to exist amid sand, wind, and cold.

【洛菲爾系列｜生死鐲】 在洛菲爾地區的民族信仰中， 死亡不是消失，而是意識的回歸。 靈魂在肉身崩解後， 不會歸於虛無， 而是回到生死之神——巴巴耶加的領域， 等待下一次被允許的投生與行走。 這是一條不斷循環的路， 被洛菲爾人稱為「未封閉的輪迴」。 生死鐲，正誕生於這樣的信仰核心。 手鐲採用開口圓弧結構， 刻意拒絕封閉， 象徵意識尚未被裁定、命運仍在流動。 它不是完成式， 而是一段正在進行中的存在狀態。 中央節點如同穿越生與死的門檻， 不指向終點， 只標記「通過」。 表面處理靈感，來自洛菲爾的土地本身。 生死鐲的金屬肌理， 以鏽鐵質感為視覺語言， 呼應巴巴耶加在神話中被描繪為 「以腐化與重生為權柄的存在」。 這種鏽， 不是衰敗， 而是時間在金屬上留下的記憶。 洛菲爾地區長年處於沙漠高原氣候： 乾燥、貧瘠、風蝕強烈， 荒涼之中卻夾帶刺骨寒意。 再向北延伸， 便進入被稱為「冰漠」的高原地帶—— 寒冷、稀薄、幾乎不適合生存。 在這樣的環境中， 文明學會的不是繁盛， 而是承受與延續。 鏽鐵的質感， 正是洛菲爾文化對惡劣環境的回應方式： 不遮掩侵蝕， 不美化苦難， 只是在風沙與寒冷中繼續存在。
