⭕️ she wears it over her heart ⭕️
Tonight feels like a full circle moment ⭕️
In 2018 during our relocation here, my mom inspired me to learn the art of jewelry. The alchemy of using fire and metal and stone was a form of healing.
I was learning in a beautiful workshop here in San Miguel de Allende — a room full of us beginners, all learning to make silver with our hands. My mom was there that week too, celebrating her birthday in the studio. In that room I sketched a little snake eating its own tail.
The Ouroboros.
2018. A little silver workshop in San Miguel. My mom inspired me to learn the art of jewelry during our relocation — fire, metal, stone. A cathartic and intimate alchemy.
I sketched a snake eating its own tail. The Ouroboros.
It’s the oldest symbol of eternity — in Egypt it was the world encircled by the serpent, in alchemy it’s the cycle of death and rebirth, the universe making itself from itself. The soul eating its own shadow to remember its light.
It was one of my first pieces.
This year, that same necklace appears in THEØNESS — a film about higher consciousness, about remembering who we are beyond this one life, with music by Axel Thesleff and Milana. In the film, she wears it right over her heart, in the middle of feathers and sequins and light.
I made it as a student in a little workshop in Mexico. Now it’s part of a story about the universe remembering itself.
So grateful to the teacher who taught my hands, and to my mom for being there at the beginning.

Now she wears it in THEØNESS — a film about remembering who we are beyond this one life.
The circle represents a continuous loop where there is no true beginning or end. It signifies that time is circular rather than linear, moving through endless seasons of life, decay, and rebirth.
Full circle. No beginning, no end.
