The artists present contemporary jewellery pieces that depict, deny, define, and distort the images we hold of ourselves as women. The works are inspired by our vulnerabilities, our strengths, our fears, and our desires — whether they are real or imagined. They are thinking about that girl: who you may know, who you might also be. The authors add: “In the dark, it’s all a trick. And nobody knows. We are in the moment, in the moments. Our eyes throw a glance, we make you laugh, we are provocative, we dance, we drink. We pretend to have fun. We break our own hearts. And we do it again and again.”
