Description: The jewelry pieces I have designed and crafted are based on two fundamental design approaches: one derived from geometric forms and the other from abstract shapes. At first glance—whether in photographs or in person—they appear to be made of a golden-colored metal alloy. Yet, in reality, they are something entirely different. These handcrafted works, which share many structural similarities with sculpture, are what I call wearable sculptures. Contrary to what one might assume, they are not made of any metal or alloy. Instead, they are created from a paste made of human waste materials. My intention in creating these works is twofold: first, to draw attention to the importance of environmental preservation; and second, to demonstrate that waste can be reintroduced into the cycle of production—not merely as utilitarian or recycled objects, but as aesthetic creations that can adorn the human body just like conventional jewelry. In simpler terms, humanity has failed to significantly reduce its waste production, and this failure gravely threatens our planet. If we cannot lessen our waste, perhaps we can transform it—wear it around our necks, or reshape it into other useful objects—so that, in doing so, this Earth might breathe again, even if only a little.
