Frozen Moment
Frozen Moment pieces are a lot about feelings of nostalgia, of a moment in time. In my work, I was looking for materialization of these abstract matters. I based it on associations and feelings. After a period of research, I came up with my own material, that the pieces are made of. This material has two main compounds: polymer, that is light and transparent, just like 'a moment' and crushed marble, that creates an illusion of a solid stone which I associate with a feeling of nostalgia.
In my work, I use a lot of color that is expression of another spectrum, spectrum of emotions. In the beginning of crafting each piece, material is hot and dynamic but in a while it turns still. Like a metaphor of a moment becoming a memory. When looking at my works, people often are saying that they look like ice, unknown minerals or minuscule surreal landscapes.
I question traditional approaches and instead of valuable jewels I celebrate the idea behind the material. That's why for the rear of the brooches and other supporting details I use valuable metals like gold, gold plated silver and titanium.
In this project, I created more than 300 hundred pieces. I then selected 21 and crafted them into the jewelry.
