"Over the years, humanity has disconnected from the natural rhythm of the universe.
The circular motion of nature, the human life cycle, and their parallelism led me to engage with tubers.
I chose the Potato due to it being considered a poor product, but in reality,
the world's nutrition is completely reliant on this tuber, and its historic significance.
Gold, on the other hand, holds a high value in the human world but doesn't have true merit.
Both materials are buried beneath the ground – while one is considered eternal and a safe investment, the other is deemed temporary and worthless. With deep observation, the opposite is true.
The golden color has become a status symbol of luxury even when it is not the real raw material but only a cheap imitation of the color. During the process of working on the project I was amazed to discover how much similar potato and gold could look like. how they were sometimes assimilated into each other. My jewelry examines the use of color and raw material and challenges the conditioning of what is the most desirable thing for humanity. My project is dealing with daily moments in human life (birth and abortion, aging and death). The jewelry I created combines the two materials ,potatoes and gold, and examines the substantive and symbolic value of the elements in the perception of a fleeting moment –
the incarnation of the Potato as an analogy to a human life." Noga Weiss
