Lasting thought is one of the earliest pieces from Melancholy Series, which poetically explores notions of beauty, nostalgia and passing time. These jewellery pieces question how the creation of objects can guide or replace memory. As intimate objects, Melancholy Series alludes to forms found in nature, while deliberately abstracting them to de-familiarise the familiar. This collection embodies pathos, often evoking strong feelings of melancholy through an almost alien or foreign lens.
