Cyber Zombie by Taras Yoom Is Jewelry You Can Build + Rebuild

No need to wait for October – spooky season is here with the Cyber Zombie collection by Taras Yoom. A Bangkok-based multidisciplinary artist, Yoom is known as the creator of Yoomoota, an ongoing “universe of art” that represents humanity through sculptures, furnitures, paintings, and now, jewelry. Yoom brings sci-fi dreams to life with this Frankenstein-inspired line, where each piece can be disassembled and reassembled into one sculptural form. Why settle for static jewelry when you can have wearable art that transforms?

The limited edition collection features five pieces: three statement-makers (a ring, a pendant, and earrings) and two versatile essentials (an extra ring and earrings). Each one evokes the Frankenstein narrative, reimagined thousands of years into the future, where AI reigns supreme and cybernetic zombies are our next evolutionary step. Both creepy and cool, the collection puts the wearer (or should we say mad scientist) in the design seat to make their Frankenstein creation.

The Cyber Zombie collection is part of Yoom’s larger Yoomoota universe and is his inaugural jewelry series. The centra character of Zombie may not have a backstory yet but it stands as a symbolic visionary from the planet Mysteries, inviting wearers to reflect on speculative futures. Yoom plants even more twists of humanity’s fate from alien arrivals, human extinction, the emergence of new viruses, and more – all corresponding with future collections. “These tangible creations resemble visions drawn from dreams. They are not merely adornments – they are symbols of belief in an envisioned future, a testament to faith in such a destiny,” Yoom explains.

For now, Yoom leaves us with a glimpse of what’s to come: jewelry that isn’t just worn, but imagined, assembled, and reimagined. Whether you’re into sci-fi stories or just looking for conversation-starting statement pieces, the Cyber Zombie collection offers a bold, futuristic take on adornment.
