Moment before the first kiss earrings repeat the theme of faceless icons. The faceless icon is my research work from our time. This work is in the development stage at the level of thought, through which I pondered why to iconize any person? For me, trees and the surrounding vegetation and natural diversity are greater objects of worship than people and I try to merge people back into a part of nature, from which we have become somewhat estranged. Faceless icons embody intangible jewelry through matter. I bend and saw faceless icons until I understand. And sometimes these icons kiss and are my prayers for kisses that heal the world. The space left between these earrings gave rise to the brooch The Power to Stop Time, and you can purchase it here.
