It is springtime again. Tulips make the sun come into your house. But the heat inside makes them faint very fast. The beauty of a tulip is merely a question of day’s. Not forever. And yet there is a comparison with the Japanese flowering Cherry. the blossom only stays some days and then the memory remains for another season.

This necklace is made of stainless steel and resin-fixed dried tulip leafs. The beauty of the tulip is captured in a moment and time stands still. A big contradiction in this very fragile object.
