Title

bury : (brooch, ring)

Overview

These framed cement pieces turn jewelry into a playful act of concealment.
The artist hides fragments—chains, edges, impressions—beneath the surface, leaving only subtle clues.
The audience completes the work by leaning in, searching, and “digging” with their eyes.

Series Statement

Bury stages a mischievous interaction between artist and viewer.
What is buried is intentional; what reappears depends on how closely the audience investigates.
Across the series, revealing becomes a shared act—an excavation performed not by the hand, but by attention itself.
