My Collections : Jewelry and Sculpture
Carmen M. Perez – Stoppert
A spiritual vessel – combining adornment and invocation. Featured is an antique Santo hand, is associated with reverence and I embedded as a relic. A sculptural pendant that speaks to protection and devotion. Each mark, each joint, is intentional. I work with tension – between rawness and refinement sacred and industrial. Rivets, soldered seams, hammered textures – these aren’t hidden supports: they’re deliberate marks of the process. The hand isn’t just suspended – its anchored.
