About Reflection والا

ريفليڪشن (Reflection) هڪ غير متناسب (asymmetric) والن جو جوڙو آهي جيڪو ٻيهر استعمال ٿيل 18 قيراط سفيد سون مان ٺاهيو ويو آهي. سون کي تار جي صورت ۾ ڇڪيو ويو آهي ته جيئن مکيه والي جو جسم ٺهي. وڏو کاٻي پاسي وارو والو ڪن جي چوڌاري ڦاسي ٿو، جڏهن ته ساڄي پاسي وارو والو هڪ ننڍڙو اسٽڊ (stud) آهي. هڪ الڳ لٽڪندڙ حصو ٻنهي مان ڪنهن به والي سان ڳنڍي سگهجي ٿو يا زنجيري ۾ وجهي پينڊنٽ (pendant) طور پائي سگهجي ٿو. نيلم (sapphires) ۽ هيرا (diamonds) هٿ سان گرين سيٽ (grain set) ۽ بيزل سيٽ (bezel set) ڪيا ويا آهن. هي ڊزائين هڪ پکيءَ کان متاثر ٿي ٺاهي وئي آهي جيڪو پاڻيءَ ۾ پنهنجو عڪس ڏسي رهيو آهي، ۽ ان تضاد کان جيڪو ظاهر ڪيل پاسي ۽ لڪايل پاسي جي وچ ۾ آهي.

Research: Following my initial image of bird on a branch viewing reflection I spent time researching bird image and reflection in water and how what’s seen is it a mirror image . I spent days re sketching the image to its basic wire form and from their transformed the initial shape using cad cam and by stretching the shape it took on a hook shape which inspired the hook design around the ear with the reflection part progression to a removable drop .Methods included sketching, layout tracing , hand rendering and cad cam with the making using hand craftsmanship.
Inspiration: Originally based on a bird viewing its own reflection in the water
we do not always see the perfect reflection of ourselves.
