The Gift
“The Gift” symbolizes the delicate exchange that defines a relationship. The use of repurposed materials mirrors the way relationships are formed from both past experiences and the new possibilities we create together. It is about the act of giving ourselves to one another—our time, our affection, and our vulnerabilities—creating something beautiful and meaningful in the process.
A feast of friends
“A Feast of Friends” represents the beauty and complexity of friendship. Each bird in the piece symbolizes a different personality, a unique voice within the community, and yet, they all come together harmoniously. I used repurposed jewelry to reflect the idea that we all bring our individual stories—our own pasts, brokenness, and brilliance—into our friendships. These pieces, which once had a different purpose, are now part of something new and meaningful, just like how we contribute to each other’s lives.
