Pushing the limits of what we consider salvageable, taking a common piece of street trash and completely altering its nature, encasing its unique, weathered shape in layers of hand-painted, hard resin. The result is a dramatic juxtaposition: a gritty, discarded object reborn as something shiny, new, and encased in a glass-like shell. By making the overlooked untouchable — resembling a piece of fine art rather than trash — viewers are invited to rethink their perception of waste. This isn't about glamorizing smoking; it’s about the radical act of turning the ultimate piece of trash into an unforgettable statement. Ultimately, each necklace acts as a tactile artifact, preserving a fleeting, disregarded moment of human habit in a permanent, luxurious form.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSPLIT\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExpect slight variances between pieces due to the unique processes used.
