Decay is part of the journey towards the end of life for all organic matter and is a well-known rule in the world. The meaning of decay is negative and often related to death. In my work, decay is beauty from a special perspective, as if it is a sign of the potential of growing a new life in the process of decline.
I try to explain the vitality behind the original decay in jewelry. The material that everyone throws away, becomes a piece of precious jewelry, the fragility translated into hard metallic substance and the death reversed into a new life. When the garlic peel turns to ornaments, it is no longer useless, but it becomes an entity of value.
