Heartbeats pebbles, 2022

Stones. They have a story to tell. When you take a stone in your hands, you can feel its roughness and sharp edges, or you can caress its smooth surface and stroke its curves. The sensation of the stone in your hands tells a tale, describes a history. If you pick up a pebble from the riverbed, you can imagine it wandering for many years from the top of the mountain, caressed by the water, until the moment of reaching a perfect, flowless, shiny form. One that you can put near your heart and connect to with all your senses.
Nature has always been my great guide. Nature is peace and tranquility but also force and change. From natures processes learn strength and understanding. When I design my artwork, I draw inspiration from the shapes, movements, and forces in nature.
In the necklace “Heartbeats pebbles” I am trying to capture the story of the timeless forces of earth wind and water that resulted in such stones that I created in my piece. I hope that if you put the necklace near your heart you will feel the same.
