ODYSSEY OF SELF

A mountain stands tall with 7 terraces.

At its base lies an unfinished, rough realm, where the shadows of our fears loom large, casting doubt on every step. As we ascend, each terrace reflects a sin to be purged, a layer of our psyche to confront. Some embrace the challenge, using their paranoia as a guiding flame through the darkness, striving for redemption amidst the monochrome landscape. Others get lost in paranoia, falling back into the depths of uncertainty. They laboriously climb, shedding their burdens with each step, until they reach the summit, where the realm of polished chrome illuminates the soul. Transitioning from 3D printed PLA to sterling silver, the seven pieces of jewelry reflect each terrace of self-progression. Each piece climbs up the human body akin to those ascending the mountain with each person choosing their path: to ascend, remain, or fall back.
