When I heard that the inspiration for the project was water, I immediately thought of the sea.
A few years ago I was with my brother by the sea at Zahara de los Atunes. It was my last day at that great place and I looked at the sea and told my brother...I wish I could have a ring and take the color of the sea with me.
My brother took a picture of the sea, posted what I said and then ...a guy reacted and said: I will make that ring for your sister. He did. I have that ring.
So, that's how I started. The sea in a ring.
I couldn't draw a decent hand.
so I thought the sea in a pendant. Then I thought...everything is sea, and I am part of the sea.
And then I looked at microscopic images of hair and I suddenly saw the Kanawaga wave in front of me. Broken hair, the wave of Kanawaga...I suddenly saw the connection.
The main thing was to get the right curve of the wave and connect it to the hair.
I did everything with a BIC pen.
