ZIAZAN

Ziazan leads an anthropological and experiential commentary on the eccentric, alternative, and unconventional ways in which certain human beings choose to live. There are references to childhood whimsy, outer space, ancient heirlooms and traditions, and bucolic scenes from fields overflowing with fruit and flowers. The process of exploration is visible through the creation of unique pieces of jewelry and functional objects that seek to bring beauty to daily life. This nomadic exploration involves travel to places such as Japan, Morocco, Turkey, China, and Tahiti. Cultural and traditional examination are involved in the discovery of underexplored lifestyles which the vast majority of people in the United States are unaware of. The journey to reach these places transforms the inspiration of each piece, as do the fabrics, colors, food, and fragrances of each destination. Not only is this an ethnological journey, but it is also a spiritual and creative adventure. The goal of Ziazan is to have each piece bring something beautiful from a little known place, created with precious metals and stones into your home, life, and awareness.
