‘tears’ encapsulates and immortalizes the material in a state often impossible to preserve. Instead of casting, solid gold shapes are formed and melted by hand and all hardware is handcrafted: it’s impossible to make the same ‘tears’ piece twice. molten silver flows along the wearer. each piece is unpredictable in their process, capturing the moment of flux within the gold itself and holding it there.
