BREATHING KISSES
A Collaboration Between Sophie Dupont and KINRADEN
Breathing Kisses is a poetic and deeply personal collaboration between Danish architect and jewellery designer Sarah Emilie Müllertz, founder of KINRADEN, and internationally acclaimed artist Sophie Dupont. Rooted in friendship and shared values, the project weaves together two creative practices - each grounded in presence, balance, and reverence for life’s quiet exchanges.
The Meeting of Two Practices
The collaboration between Sarah and Sophie unfolds from a shared life philosophy: that breath is the beginning of all things, and that both art and life evolve one inhale, one exhale at a time. Breathing Kisses emerges as a meeting point between two disciplines - design and performance - that together explore the delicate rhythm connecting body, space, and spirit.
Both creators have long been fascinated by the invisible structures that shape our existence. Where Sarah’s designs translate balance and proportion into form, Sophie’s performances make the unseen - air, energy, emotion - tangible. Through Breathing Kisses, they converge in a single gesture, transforming breath itself into sculpture.
The Art of Breathing Kisses
Crafted in 925 sterling silver, each Breathing Kiss carries the imprint of oxygen - the invisible trace of breath, the subtle mark left between two beings. The silver becomes alive: shaped by air, marked by touch, and holding the quiet imprint of connection. Like a kiss, it records presence - soft yet exact, fragile yet whole - inviting the wearer into stillness.
In this piece, the act of breathing becomes a universal rhythm - a tender negotiation between the inner and outer world. Breathing Kisses invites reflection on how every breath, like every kiss, connects us - a reminder that even the smallest touch can hold the universe in balance.
The Artists Behind the Work
Sarah Emilie Müllertz is the founder and designer behind KINRADEN - a Danish fine jewellery house rooted in architecture and craftsmanship. Trained as an architect, Sarah’s work explores the intersection of form, materiality, and emotion. Guided by a minimalist aesthetic, her designs reveal a sculptural clarity that balances strength with quiet beauty. Through KINRADEN, she invites a deeper connection between design, body, and being.
Sophie Dupont is a Danish artist whose work examines breath, balance, and presence. Through her performances and installations, she invites audiences to experience the immediacy of existence - the body as both vessel and witness. Her works have been exhibited at the National Museum of Denmark, KUNSTEN Museum of Modern Art, and numerous international institutions. In 2025, she will present two major solo exhibitions at leading Danish art spaces, continuing her exploration of the unseen dimensions of being.
Breathing Kisses is more than an art object - it is a moment of recognition. It asks us to pause, to breathe, to feel the space between ourselves and the world. In this collaboration, design meets performance; form meets feeling. The piece becomes a symbol of shared existence - where each breath, each kiss, and each moment of awareness becomes an act of connection.
With Love,
KINRADEN
