GLORY (Tunnel/Light Experience):
For the tunnel/light experience piece, I chose to make a handpiece. The reason behind this thought process is due to the fact that when a person sees the light, they tend to reach out to it with their hands. I chose to used citrine quartz and quartz for this piece because citrine quartz gives warm energy similar to the sun, and quartz represents light. I also didn't find these exact stones, so I used stones with similar colors. The handpiece is shaped to represent a tunnel in an abstract way. The handpiece starts out wide and becomes narrower, and ends with the stones. There are 2 rings that extend to the fingers that are connected to the stone, which represent how a person reaches out to the light. I chose to call this piece glory because there is an optical phenomenon called "glory" that resembles a halo around the shadow of something, usually a person. Sometimes during a tunnel/light experience, a person sees someone's shadow in the light, like they have this halo or glory around them.
