Dead Flower Earrings- Triptych
LAYERED DEATH
The dead flower earrings, represent layered death in the triptych, made of a tiara, a necklace and a pair of earrings. The triptych is my journey through the theme of aging as a young woman.
One-of-a-kind Dead Flower earrings, made of 18K Fairmined gold and 925 Fairmined silver, on an oxidised copper base, completed with blue and green drops of Tourmalines from Brazil. Completely handmade from grain to polish, these exquisite earrings delicately sit on the earlobe, creating a dramatic, unconventional, and inimitable look. Like water droplets, drenched in colour, the tourmalines dangle, adding movement and light to the earrings.
Story
Story
“Death is a faithful companion, it’s the bad news you dread but frees you from the anxiety of uncertainty. I never feared my death, but, as a young woman, I have always dreaded aging. Societal norms have taught me that my value will decrease over time. But aging, becoming more complex, rotting even, changing, interlacing the tangible with life, should be celebrated. The decay of the petals intensifies the movement, texture, adding layers of complexity to a straightforward, ephemeral symbol of youth. These earrings and their imperfections celebrate the slow passage towards death, not as a loss, but as added layers of nuances, lights and shadows.”
