Interrobang Brooch : Tiger's Footprint

The tiger has long been one of Asia’s most powerful symbols. Its meanings vary across cultures: royalty and courage in India, protection and military strength in China, the guardian spirit of the mountains in Korea, and authority and natural balance across Southeast Asia. Created in dialogue with CI21’s Focus Asia, this piece references the tiger through its footprint, drawing on one of Asia’s most enduring symbols of strength, authority and instinct. At the heart of the design, the interrobang is reimagined where question meets affirmation. For D’Evin, strength needs no constant display. Its presence is felt through the impact it leaves behind. This is why D’Evin uses the tiger’s footprint rather than the tiger itself. What remains is the trace of its presence — impact, legacy and quiet confidence. The ability to leave a mark without needing to be seen.
