The inspiration for the jewellery has emerged from the water and some of its properties, the way light is refracted through water and how objects are distorted when viewed through water. The small slices of mother of pearl is partially transparent and acts as a veil of water droplets. When one considers that part of the body that lies behind these veils, dissolved form and jewelry and body merge into a new whole. All discs are moving, this gives an expression of change and life. On the way I want to introduce an element of unpredictability, thus creating an ambiguity that can activate the viewer’s interest.

Materials: Mother of pearl, steel, 14kt gold & 925s.
