Vav

Nafs al-Mardiyya | Humility

Bracelet 6/7

925 sterling silver, 22K gold plating, 2 microns, rhodalite

The awareness that begins with the upright stance of Elif reaches another maturity in the bowed line of Vav. The self moves away from the need to place itself at the centre. Bowing is not a retreat, but a conscious humility towards existence. Form softens and excess dissolves; a quieter, more essential state of being remains.
