Influenced by the forms and textures of muscles and the sea, I've been working on small delicate vessel designs. I wanted the idea behind the piece to be a vessel container of protection with delicate substances within it. The outside being hard, textured and ragged, like it has been batted about in the sea by the waves, portraying the idea of the outside needing to be so strong in order to protect such precious trinkets that are held inside.
I liked the idea of having a vessel of protection, functioned to hold something precious and sentimental inside, Inside i have placed anythiss crystals used to represent my birth stone and my star Aquarius and it's connection to the sea. The idea of the vessel only being able to be open by whom it belongs to would also be something i would like to look into further, kind of like a lock on a diary very personnel, though made to make you feel good, and be able to remiss.
