TIDAL MASS

A volume built through resistance.

A round lightbulb with a metal screw base, wrapped in aluminum foil, placed on a white surface with a gradient blue background.

Formed in sterling silver through sustained heat, the surface collapses inward, then thickens—building density rather than detail.

Not constructed.
Accumulated.
The form holds as a single mass, its edges unstable, its weight concentrated.
At the center, an opaque aquamarine is embedded within the structure, absorbing light rather than releasing it.
It reads as mineral.
Contained.
The stone is not elevated.
It is held within the mass—integrated, not set.

The result is not a ring in the traditional sense, but a concentrated form shaped by pressure and restraint.

Built around density rather than light.
