2024

This series of rings act as a vessel to encapsulate traumatic experiences venturing into adulthood. They represent using human lives as a reward similar to taxidermy wall mounts. The body parts being: the Adam’s apple, back and butt, and hands. These symbolize aggression, assault, and manipulation, times where a life was used to acquire satisfaction. Each ring acts as a weapon of self harm, but also self-defense.
