About Desire in Life Smykkeserie

Desire in Life er en smykkeserie opbygget af skulpturelle knogleformer. Serien består af tre stykker. En ring formet som et kranie viser en figur, der holder en diamant, hvilket udtrykker begæret efter rigdom. En anden ring er skabt ved at krydse ribben i en trekantet struktur. Et halssmykke rummer en rød hjerteformet ædelsten indfattet i et tredimensionelt brystben. Voksmodeller udskæres for at forme knogleformerne og støbes derefter i guld. Dele af serien er færdiggjort i 18K sort guld. Serien inviterer til refleksion over begær og liv.
