Mari Ishikawa

Mari Ishikawa sees a parallel world through her daily life and translates it into jewelry. “We can't see anything unless we try. Discovery begins with the sense of sight.” For Ishikawa, water is the source of life and a symbol of the cycle of existence. Nothing in this world can avoid its own destiny and disappear, but it also possesses the power of regeneration. Water is a symbol of rebirth. It works with gems such as aquamarine in its natural form as a representation of water. Plants also show us the power of rebirth. Her work with plants cast in silver seeks to capture the moment. When we realize that the days of stagnation are not eternal, the path is already open and the transformation has begun.
