HAIKU RINGS
The aim of the Project was to unite art jewelry and poetry.
I made 15 rings based on the unique raw minerals. The minerals were scrupulously selected following my associations with some natural phenomenon. In no case the stones were polished or cut, I took them as they were found and made special silver cast to each. Once finished, each ring got its haiku poem (a very short form of Japanese poetry) specially written by the haiku poets.
