A directional form extends across the face, anchored by a singular line that projects outward with precision. The composition establishes a clear axis, where structure and ornament align into a focused gesture. Constructed from leather and silver-plated brass, the piece integrates hand assembly with beadwork and stone setting. Garnet and topaz are embedded within the structure, with additional elements extending the form outward. Each component is individually formed and aligned to maintain clarity. Developed over 50 hours, the work reflects sustained collaboration and technical refinement, with materials integrated into a single language.
