Last year, after waiting for almost six years, I had the opportunity to spend time in my home country in the way that I wanted to.
The time felt very happy and everything felt like it was falling in place. I felt safe exploring things deep inside and remembering some happy memories from when I was younger.
My room had a balcony with this hedge and it prompted me to pick up my crayons and art paper to create the drawing of this hedge.
And this is the drawing I created.
And then after sometime of leaving this place, when I was revisiting my drawings, I was motivated to design something I could wear – a ring perhaps – using this drawing.
With the help of AI, I generated this ring design. Here’s the picture.
Other than a bit of asymmetry, I was quite happy with how the design turned out.
In fact, the minute I saw this design, it took me back to the first ring I ever owned (gift received as a young girl). And it brought back so many memories!
That is how I knew I had created something of meaning… something deeply meaningful to me.
Wearing jewelry or clothes that were made or designed by yourself, or someone who cares about you, can be very special. The deeply personal feeling we get from wearing things created by ourselves, or surrounding ourselves with our art and creations, makes us feel a certain way that is very wholesome, and safe, and it enhances the quality of the connection we have with ourselves.
I look forward to creating more such items.
