影山 公章Kimiaki Kageyama
Jewelry has the uniqueness that other three-dimensional art works do not have.
It is the fact that jewelry in other words “body ornament” is literally something that is worn on human bodies.
It is closest to yourself and attached directly to your skin.
Around your spirit are your body, jewelry, clothes, and then the outer world of social environment and nature.
Jewelry exists as if it is an switchboard positioned between the inside and outside of yourself.
It could also be said that we communicate with others, nature and society, and transmit our own identities through jewelry.
I hope that these pieces lead you to reconsider the preciousness of the nature.
