Background
Aether explores the invisible geometries that connect sound, form, and spirit. Inspired by the conch, sacred across Southeast Asian cultures as a symbol of awakening and calmness.
This collection reinterprets its spiral form through metal and light. Referencing The Geometry of Art and Life, each piece reflects balance and proportion as a living language. The result is a series of jewelry pieces that reflect vibration, flow, and the unseen forces that shape our world.
Aether: The fifth element, or the personification of the bright upper sky in Greek mythology.
Form Exploration
Hand sketches with graphite pencils
These initial sketches expand on a collection I developed during my undergrad, where I explored the tension and harmony within feminine identity. How there is a continual negotiation between softness and strength, concealment and expression.
In revisiting these ideas through jewelry, I was drawn to forms of transformation and spiral motion as visual metaphors for change and self-reflection. The lines echo how identity shifts in response to our environments, capturing the fluid dialogue between our inner and outer worlds.
