About Desire in Life Smykkeserie

Desire in Life er en smykkeserie bygget opp av skulpturelle beinformer. Serien består av tre deler. En ring formet som en hodeskalle viser en figur som holder en diamant, og uttrykker begjæret etter rikdom. En annen ring er formet av ribbein som krysser hverandre i en trekantet struktur. Et halssmykke bærer en rød hjerteformet edelsten satt inn i et tredimensjonalt brystbein. Voksmodeller skjæres ut for å skape beinformene og støpes deretter i gull. Deler av serien er ferdigstilt i 18K svart gull. Serien inviterer til refleksjon over begjær og liv.
