People often use the term "moss growth" to describe the ancient primitive of a place or object. Mosses always seem to be in the most obscure position to look at the changes and fugacious of The Times. This series of jewellery pieces with moss growing from the crevices of decaying and dried fruits is a meditation on the cycle of life. Only the wearer's regular watering can maintain the moss's verdant green, the dry and wet state of the moss is a visual representation of the length of time, and the repetitive act of watering deepens the perception of the passage of time. This piece of jewellery constructs a unique view of time and a new way of keeping time.
