HOME:BODY is a study of transience, belonging, and the ways we archive the self through objects. This body of work considers how jewelry—intimate, personal, and passed from hand to hand—is both a vessel for memory and an extension of the body. The body, in turn, becomes a site of preservation—a home in motion, where adornment is ritual. 

This collection dwells in that tender space between public and private, where jewelry precariously sits. It traces the ways we safeguard identity through rituals of collecting, reaching out, and letting go. Many of these pieces are meant to be shared or passed on; each object offers a fragment of a larger, shifting narrative: of place, memory, and selfhood in motion. HOME:BODY looks at how we come to know ourselves through what we hold close: what we wear, what we give, and what we leave behind. 

Jewelry—held, worn, given—becomes a way to feel belonging across absence, to make visible the ways we hold onto one another. Every phrase I have hammered into metal, every charm I have cut from it, is a small declaration: YOU ARE HERE; I AM HERE. 

We are here, together; this is the evidence.
