STATEMENT



This series of rings is a testament to failures that refuse to be forgotten. Discarded components—silver, pearls, wood, and stones—once destined for purpose now linger as remnants of unrealized hopes and dreams. Over time, they grew into small obsessions, quietly radiant in their brilliance and flaws.

Failure is often buried or rewritten, but in this work, it becomes a foundation. It is a reminder of the value in imperfection and persistence. Each ring is an act of reconciliation, transforming what might have been into what is.

The materials themselves carry stories: pearls, layered through irritation, reflect resilience in the face of adversity, while silver represents the delicate balance between fragility and strength. These materials, often polished to perfection, now revel in their rawness, exposing scars and hidden histories.

These rings exist as imperfect relics, asking not for resolution, but for forgiveness. Through this work, I invite viewers to reflect on their own relationships with imperfection, to see beauty in what remains unfinished, and to embrace the marks that shape them.
