Indlwane (Birds nest)

In the isiXhosa language, there is a saying that goes, "Intak yakha ngoboya benye," meaning a bird builds its nest using feathers from other birds. The problem that I am facing is finding a connection between my work and how it connects with people. A bird connects one strand of grass and forms a nest that is three-dimensional, just as I use a thin wire to shape my jewelry into a three-dimensional form. I obtained images from Ayanda Qwabe to use as a reference, and that alone shows how building a relationship with your surroundings can benefit you as a person. Just like how I want my jewelry to be seen as doing in one's body when wearing it.
