Stoic Hope: The Forsaken, 2022, glass, moss, & sterling silver, 5 x 18 x 6 inches
The large and minute features from abandoned buildings inform my jewelry work. I use geometric structures to represent coldness and rigidity, and organic materials to represent warmth, brightness, and hope. I am fascinated by how plant forms grow in abandoned Brutalist style buildings and want for my work to embody the metaphor of hope blooming within coldness.
