something rather than nothing

It's there, but it's not. It's not there, but it is. There's a certain sense of existence even though it's not physically there.
That's the deep fascination and energy I feel which is communicated by the small presence that is jewelry.
I made drawings in order to collect shapeless things, and I made a brooch. I fired the entire brooch with cloisonne approximately seven times, and regulated the polished finish to give it a matte look. I completed everything myself, from the drawing, processing, firing the cloisonne, and completing the product.
Materials: Silver, cloisonne, gold leaf, gold plating

A brooch made with the feeling of wanting to keep the sensations I have experienced (trembling, my heart pounding, being choked up) in response to the lovely things and lovely words I have found in everyday life quietly within myself so that others don't notice. The pearl inside is designed so that it cannot be seen from the front, but it's in your line of sight when you put it on.
Materials: brass, pearl
