SURFACE BREAKDOWN

A surface pushed to the point of failure.

Close-up of a metallic surface with numerous screw holes and uneven texture.

$3,800

Formed in sterling silver through sustained heat, the surface ruptures, contracts, and reforms into unstable terrain.

At this scale, the process intensifies—thin areas blister and collapse while others thicken and resist, creating a field of compression and release.

The form holds as a continuous structure, but the surface remains in flux.

Moissanites are set directly into the terrain, fixed points within an otherwise unstable field.

Dispersed and not decorated, they flecks of light pushing forth from within.

The object carries weight—physical and visual—occupying space rather than sitting within it. It defines the space around it.

It is not ornament, it is an event frozen in time.
