These necklaces continue my ongoing exploration of the dialogue between the body, the object, and the space we inhabit. Crafted from white chalk, they carry the qualities of softness, fragility, and impermanence – a material that invites touch yet resists durability. Each movement of the body subtly alters the object, while the object, in turn, leaves its own traces: faint marks on the skin, a dusting on the fabric, silent evidence of contact and time.
I am fascinated by this mutual exchange – a delicate choreography of wearing and being worn. The chalk slowly erodes, changes shape, and disappears, transforming the necklace into a fleeting record of presence.
Through this process, the work becomes a quiet meditation on human connection. Like relationships, these pieces demand closeness and care; they are tender yet vulnerable. Intimacy can nurture, but it can also leave behind visible marks, gentle scars, or signs of slow wearing – traces of the moments when touch and time meet.
