This piece features a single earring adrift on a surface, embodying the solitude that distance can bring. Born from a promise between my sister and me that we would wear these earrings whenever we felt the weight of our separation. They are not mere accessories but symbols of our unity and presence in each other's lives, a reminder that we are together in spirit in every moment of need despite the miles between us. Each earring is a token of our togetherness, a commitment that we are never truly alone.
