working with the grief
Mourning might be experienced not only after the death of people dear to us. It is also connected to other types of loss: breakups, divorces or dramatic changes in the environment we live in. POPIO is an experimental investigation aimed at exploring the emotional value which can be carried by an object. The pieces are made of material based on ashes collected from burnt memorabilia (journals, photographs, letters or documents) related to the person or place which one has lost. The story carried by the jewellery is obvious to its wearer, but not to people from the outside world, whom we might not like to share our grief with.
