Materials sterling silver, gloves

Three pins form a silent narrative of gesture and celebration.
In the first piece, two gloves sewn into a cupped shape evoke the act of receiving, offering, keeping. In the second, the gloves rest side by side, a suspended presence, a gesture yet to come, a time of waiting.
In the third, only the hanger remains. Emptiness becomes memory, recalling what was or what never came to be.
The series frames celebration as an intimate cycle: the full, the possible, the absent.
More than festivity, it is a discreet liturgy, a ritual of hands, silence, and traces.
