This architectural style of necklaces has a story behind it. Ever since I can remember, whenever I start making something, whether it's drawing, sculpting or painting, I get lost in the details. To the point where I'm not happy with the end result. I have to make my life complicated. For some reason in my brain, complicated thing equal worth. Then I look at abstract work and I admire it. Why can't I make something beautiful and simple? Does life always need to be so intricate and complex? I love geometric shapes, why don't I just use them more often and let them speak for themselves?

Well, here is my answer. Layers of fine silver sheet cut out in squares and stacked on top of eachother. Now don't get me wrong, thinking did go into this piece! What I'm learning to leave out is the overthinking part. And here is the result, an industrial style piece that's attractive and simple, yet interesting when you take a closer look.
