The Living Archive

The Living Archive is a collection rooted in the anthropology of adornment. It’s an exploration of the symbols, shapes, and stories humans have carried through time. Each piece is meant to be a modern relic. I spent a lot of time reflecting on how humans have always assigned meaning to objects and wear them like personal mythology. While each piece is in part inspired by history, it’s meant to take on whatever meaning you, the wearer, choose to give it. This collection is about remembering that we are part of a long, unbroken chain of storytellers, leaving behind traces of who we were, what we believed, and what we hoped to become.

Our story as humans is ancient and bigger than we’ll ever fully understand. I’m just one voice in that long line, but I’m proud to share my story through silver and stone, it’s the most honest way I know how to speak.
