I created this pendant as a gift for my brother.
The basic idea was not to give away a commodity that surely would be enjoyed and bring happiness for a while, but also might break after some time and become less interesting.
So I asked myself what gift I could give to my brother with which this will not happen?
My answer was: One has to create a symbol, something that has no meaning or underlying function in of it self but gets charged with meaning. In this case by myself and in the long run by my brother. Something that starts a story.
So I choose to create a pendant.
In search of a friendly, basic, interesting, yet still meaningless shape I found the torus to be the right one.
From there I started shaping it and giving it an initial spark of meaning.
