SKVLL ÆTERNUM

For forty years I have worked with metal.

I learned that nothing true is born whole. The most important things I created were born from breaks. From mistakes that became signatures.

SKVLL ÆTERNVM is the synthesis of this truth.

The skull is not the end.

It is the guardian of something that burns beneath the flesh. A truth that reveals itself only in breakage.

The cracks are not defects.

They are gates through which that which time does not wear away emerges.

The natural diamonds set in the cracks are not decoration.

They are the revelation of what the skull has always guarded.

It is not memento mori.

It is memento lux.

Remember that you burn.

A living collection.

At this moment, three pieces are available.

Each one is hand-sculpted in wax, one at a time. Different cracks. Irrepeatable asymmetries. Diamonds arranged in ways that will never be repeated.

Once chosen, those three pieces will not return.

But SKVLL ÆTERNVM continues.

When one is chosen, another is born in its place. Always different. Always unique. Always the result of my living gesture, never of a plan.

Creation times require at least 1 month of work.

These three are here now. Already ready.

For those who know how to recognize.
