The pieces are made from the material titanium zinc - an easily recyclable material often used to collect and drain water in the building industry. The material and water are the source of inspiration for the jewellery, and I am concerned that our demands for the biosphere are growing at such an exponential rate that water increasingly is becoming a challenge for man and society.
Glaciers all over the world are retreating, and the ice caps from Greenland and Antarctica are melting at an alarming rate. The expansion of seawater due to warming is another major contributor. Coastal erosion, floods, loss of fresh drinking water resources and frequent coastal waves mean that people will have to flee their homes. Should humanity begin to prepare for the greatest expulsion of humans in known history? Are we doing everything we can, with all the knowledge we have, to prevent a major disaster?
