Adaptation

,

I recently saw a documentary that showed how a wild tiger hunts its prey by moving its 500 pound body across fallen leaves without making a sound. It fails more times than it succeeds, but this practice makes it one of the most graceful and magnificent animals in nature.

Departure

,
“Where do the words go that did not remain?
Where do the glances go that one day departed?
Do they float eternal, like prisoners of a gale?
Or do they snuggle, between cracks, seeking warmth?
Do they roll on crystals, passing for raindrops?
Do they ever turn into something?
Do they go?
And where do they go?
Where do they go?”
— Silvio Rodriguez

Departure ring.
Handmade with labradorite and 100% recycled sterling silver.

Lighthouse

“It is not the end of the physical body that should worry us. Rather, our concern must be to live while we’re alive - to release our inner selves from the spiritual death that comes with living behind a facade designed to conform to external definitions of who and what we are.”
— Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

Origin

,

I once read an interview where an artist couple was asked how they learnt their craft. We had to make a lot of mistakes until we got really good –they replied– and then we had to get bad again, because being really good is not that interesting.

Relic

,

I tend to have lucid dreams in which fears that are usually at the back of my mind act out as characters. In my latest dream, I am visiting an old amusement park made of mud and rock. I used to visit it when I was younger to play in the shallow pools, hiding treasures in stone temples. 

Now I am there with Abhaya and we are given a tour. The place seems slightly different, but not much, except that things move around as I look at them. Bits of land turn into islands and float away, and shrines slide off walls. One contains a weathered Nintendo console I once hid, but it drifts off as soon as I recognize it. 

For fun, I decide to jump off a cliff into a deep pool, but as I fall and fall and fall I wonder why I never reach the water. The guide tells me I am not really falling. I am on a platform that is simulating a fall through virtual reality technology. I am perplexed. The world is no longer as I know it.

Relic bracelet.
Handmade with natural turquoise and 100% recycled sterling silver.
