I explore the tension between strength and decay, permanence and transience. Fine silver, soft yet enduring, forms delicate threads and molten structures that embrace rusted iron: a harder metal, yet one that disintegrates with time. The ring’s silver strands converge by fire, each ending in a fragment of rust. The brooch’s beads – iron wrapped in silver – are pierced by fire-formed voids, strung together by silver threads that also end in rust. Inspired by Elijah’s encounter with God – not in wind, quake, or fire, but in a whisper – I reflect on the quiet presence that follows destruction. In the Old Testament’s, Elijah the profit )Kings1, 19, 11-12) , broken and seeking meaning, finds divinity not in force but in stillness. My works echo this: fragility is not weakness, but a profound state where silence, erosion, and transformation reveal deeper truths.
