Essence is an earring inspired by human connection before and after the coronavirus pandemic. The main form is spherical, and lines move across the surface and intersect. These lines enclose a semi-hidden white pearl, which stands for the essence of life. The lines then end in small pearls of a contrasting dark color, a reference to social distance. A separate pendant, 20 mm long, hangs below the sphere. The design was modeled with software, produced by 3D printing and direct casting, and the pearls are set by hand.
