de Pina

De Van Del Mac, exhibition, NOJ, Brussels, 2024

sterling silver

 
 
Once used to close letters with the help of wax, the classic signet ring worked as a signature, always at hand. Nowadays signatures are digital and rings can tell our story in many different ways. Ana Pina are the first and last names of a set. “de Pina” would be more accurate, but maybe not so practical, so this particle was left off… until now. Two rings, both “d” or “p”, worn alone or combined, in an abstract interpretation of what a signature ring could be for Ana (de) Pina.
