This is one of the rare occasions I’m sharing a truly serious photograph of myself.
It was taken just last week with my classmates from jewelry design school. It feels strange to see myself this serious, but it actually reflects my current state of mind quite well.
Turning 31 (WTF), working through grief, managing an increased workload, and trying to wrap my head around all the beautiful things happening at the same time.
Incredibly grateful for the love, family, and friendships that surround me.
The necklace I’m wearing is my final diploma piece, “Building Bridges”, which explores how shared cultural heritage can serve as an invitation for dialogue in times of conflict. I’ll be sharing more details about this personal project soon.
