Design Challenge

The timeless motif of the sea has long inspired artists seeking to share a profound message of love and boundless connection, a connection that mirrors the vastness of the sea itself. The challenge lies in uniquely capturing this primal love and depth, which seems to be missing many in today's fast world. The sea, as a universal motif, should not provoke differences but rather unite. The challenge was to authentically represent the sea, transcending boundaries, and communicate love to the world through The Bottom ring. This unique piece aims to be a universal symbol, reminding us of the intrinsic unity and depth that the sea embodies, offering a message of love that knows no bounds.

Project Duration

Growing up by the sea, Budva in Montenegro, sparked a profound appreciation for nature and the sea's significance. Over the years, an idea blossomed, an initiative to cultivate awareness through art. The Bottom Ring stands as a testament to this vision, a tribute to the inseparable bond between humanity and the sea. Initiated in November 2023, this project unfolded as a creative attempt to inspire environmental consciousness. The ring's design, reflecting the depths of the sea, carries a message of respect and responsibility towards our marine ecosystems. Completed in February 2024. The entire process took place in Montenegro.

Operation Flow

In the realm of jewelry, a versatile ring emerges as an essential accessory for every individual.

Research

Rings hold a profound symbolic meaning, connecting with individuals on a subconscious energetic level. This connection is deeply rooted in the belief that jewelry, particularly rings, can influence and channel energy. On an energetic level, it is thought to create a harmonious flow of energy, promoting balance and well being. The choice of materials and gemstones further improves this connection, as each element is believed to carry unique energies and properties. Wearing a ring becomes a personal and symbolic affirmation, aligning the wearer with specific energies and intentions. This energetic connection is a quiet yet powerful aspect of the relationship between individuals and their jewelry, contributing to a sense of empowerment, mindfulness, and connection to the deeper aspects of life.

Inspiration

The Bottom ring captures the essence of marine life, symbolizing its vulnerability to global pollution. The piece serves as a gentle yet powerful reminder of environmental fragility. The strength of this creation lies in its handmade craftsmanship and the profound message, a call for conscientious environmental responsibility. Through thoughtful details and deliberate choices, it emerges as a symbol of resilience and hope, encouraging a commitment to safeguard the endangered underwater world.
