Nature imparts invaluable lessons. As an artist profoundly inspired by the natural world, Sara begins each design project with a deep communion with nature. This immersive process allows her to decipher nature's unique language and draw from its boundless inspiration.
Sara crafts her designs to beckon viewers into a profound contemplation of their environment and the natural world that envelops them. For Sara, jewelry transcends mere beauty and decoration; it embodies reflection and meditation, offering wearers a momentary respite to forge a connection with nature. Each piece is imbued with intention, serving as a daily beacon and reminder.
In her latest earring piece, Sara employs techniques like sweat soldering alongside resin to capture the lifecycle of a fish, from egg to its integration into the sea. This series epitomizes growth, progression, the dawn of new existence, and the embrace of novel experiences. The simulated star sapphire cabochon stones mirror the inception of life, akin to a fish egg's journey towards a new beginning. Pierced sterling silver shapes reflect the fish's voyage into societal bonds, symbolizing communal growth and survival. The meticulous application of blue resin adds a dimension of aquatic life, enhancing the narrative depth of her work.
Just as a fish embarks on life's journey, vulnerable yet resilient, navigating through the waters and embracing new encounters for survival and growth, so does Sara's creation echo this voyage. The essence of this collection is succinctly captured in the mantra, "I learn by trying new things," inviting wearers to explore and grow through their interactions with the world.
