Essence
Essence is an earring inspired by human connection before and after the coronavirus pandemic. The main form is spherical, and lines move across the surface and intersect. These lines enclose a semi-hidden white pearl, which stands for the essence of life. The lines then end in small pearls of a contrasting dark color, a reference to social distance. A separate pendant, 20 mm long, hangs below the sphere. The design was modeled with software, produced by 3D printing and direct casting, and the pearls are set by hand.
