The beginning and the end

The beginning and the end is a singular object — a relic that cannot be remade, repeated, or translated. It exists only once.

At its core lies a real bird’s egg, found rather than taken, bearing a natural fracture where life once escaped. The shell has been sealed in resin, preserving the moment after emergence — not birth, not emptiness, but the fragile threshold between what was and what has already fled.

The egg is held in a silver setting shaped like crow claws, gripping it halfway — not possessive, but vigilant. The crow, creature of thresholds and watchers of passage, does not crush the egg; it guards what remains. Bone, shell, metal — all suspended in tension.

Resting on the surface of the egg is a large nocturnal moth, real, brown, and resin-preserved. An animal of night and transformation, drawn to darkness rather than light. Its presence seals the object’s meaning: metamorphosis without spectacle, change that happens in silence.

This piece speaks of cycles interrupted and completed at once — birth already past, flight already taken, body already abandoned. It is neither hopeful nor mournful. It simply is.

The beginning and the end cannot be reproduced. Its materials — the egg, the moth, the fracture — are unrepeatable events. What you see is not a design, but a convergence.

Not jewelry.
Not sculpture.
A preserved moment of transition, held in silver claws, watched by night.
