EROS

Oceans of Love, exhibition, Place of Display, Bucharest, 2020

sterling silver, oxide, condom packaging (plastic)

Playing with the contradiction and complementarity of concepts like form and function, appearance and meaning, inside and outside, memory and presence, contour and void, human and artificial.

The piece Eros alludes to the improbable relation between the physical body and the abstraction of geometry, celebrating one of the different kinds of love identified by the wise ancient Greeks. Eros relates to sexual love, but also, as defined by Plato, to the passage from the carnal to the ideal: contemplation as an act of appreciation for beauty itself.

May jewelry be wearable beauty with meaning.
