Second skin_m21 | sterling silver 2021

The mark of a message protruded inside of a ring and bracelet substitute for an accessory where it has been kept temporarily. The very form of an accessory is just a vestige that becomes extinct, coming to remain just as a notional meaning. All things are seen as becoming extinct externally exist while leaving texts to nature and the universe. The actual extant object captures the moment for its eternity. It is like the story of The Little Prince when it states that “Love can only be seen properly with the heart. What’s really important is invisible”. This message is carved in French, inside of the rings for couples.
