Behind the facade

‘happy’ is the new ultimate/ truth

Real emotions can’t been shown now a days. Everybody has different emotional aspects, which one do you show? The social accepted polished version or the more complex but real one. How far are you willing to go for creating a perfect version of yourself? The social presure of being the positive person all the time takes it’s tone. People get estranged and nobody knows the real you anymore. 

I believe that a person can only be who they truly are, if they open up to their whole personality and the emotions it beholds. Lose the façade, show your true emotions and share your story!

It's about time to use this blog as a real blog now my website is finally up and running.

During graduation I started a Jewellery design and goldsmithing course in Belgium, Tongeren for 3 day's a week. Just to get some extra techniques going. Which turned out to be with lot's of assignments but a good practicing for my metal finishing skills. 

The last term we finally got to design our own stuff... within two weeks. 

Here is the first piece of my final two pieces for this course exams.

fragile volatility

The increasing digital world leaves his marks on our daily lives. The volatility of those thousand of photo images floating around like a 'blur' in the air. Where are all those things that we wanted to preserve by capturing it with a camera? I want to cherish the tangible and let people see the fragility in both the analog and digital world. By wearing it you still get the sense of reality and preciousness, which is lost in the digital world. You can preserve the purity of capturing the moments by treasuring the piece with love and care, to never forget that fragile things are there to cherish.
