To Nice, these are the tears we shed for ourselves, the tears we shed for others, and those that we shed for each other.
But it's not the context of those tears that make this piece special. What makes it particularly intriguing, at least to me, is the conversation between its materials.
The bronze filigree offers structure. The aquamarine elements speak of openness and possibility. Amethyst reminds us of wisdom while the freshwater pearls both in white and peacock blue contribute compassion and grace, or so I would like to imagine.
Together, they create a portrait of a woman who possesses all of these qualities.
