CORÉIA DO SUL
An unbelievably large hole accidentally discovered through the Internet, diamond
mines. The trace had a wonderful scale and a finely calculated staircase structure.
The working environment of the diamond mine and the dark back of the mine,
known as the Blood Diamond, were found in the article, which changed the
traditional idea beautifully packed with ornaments. I made a clay brooch with the
assumption that the gemstone was mined and the remaining empty space was filled
with earth again. The brooch is made of a brooch with a silicone frame on the
gemstone, a blank space filled with white and black clay once again, and a light
clay brooch contrasting with the weight visually displayed. The shapes of the
jewels that have soared through the feel of the earth provide another pleasure to
the viewer.
Looking for traces of nature and looking at nature with healing eyes embody my
love for the Earth that I want to express through my work. The 1 carat ring series
is an expression of approaching the true beauty of the deep ground and of the
feeling of sympathy for healing nature.
