The Ancestral Thorn
This artifact is the most complex and emotionally charged object in my collection. Within a flawless optical dome, I have encased a generational drama: a fragment of authentic vintage lace, over 100 years old, pierced by imitation blood. It is a symbol of ancestral heritage, fragility, and the invisible threads that bind us to our past.
However, the tenderness of the lace here clashes with the harsh reality of protection. At the heart of the composition is a real hornet, pierced by a rusted steel bolt, and a massive double fishing hook. As an artist, this pendant symbolizes the moment when patience transforms into a weapon. It is a manifesto on defending one's inner space and legacy—an attempt to "catch" and neutralize what poses a threat. This is an ode to the strength born from vulnerability.
The hornet was found in nature after its life cycle had naturally ended. I guarantee that I never kill living beings for my art.
Signature Method & Absolute Uniqueness: Each piece is crafted using my personal, proprietary resin-casting method. My professional journey as an artist in this field began in 2020. Over the years, I have perfected the manual polishing technique, turning resin into an optical lens that makes hidden meanings tangible.
I guarantee that every artifact is a one-of-a-kind creation. I do not produce duplicates or 1:1 replicas. Each dome is a unique, frozen moment in time that can never be repeated.
