YUNA OHASHI
My daily routine is walking along the beach.
Follow the paths of waves and tides and look for small debris.
The sea stones scattered there are small works of art that have been refined over many years by nature such as the earth, sea, wind and sun.
Why did it have that color pattern and how was it cut into that shape?
I never get tired of thinking about that journey.
Every time I look at these stones, which have a somewhat rustic atmosphere, their quiet and humble appearance reminds me of the richness of imperfection.
I want to wear its beauty and story as it is, so I create jewelry with respect for each stone.
