#Earrings

Earrings are devices for dangling chains and baubles from the earlobe to hook the gaze of others. The metallic gleam may appear as a statement of individuality, yet it often comes with pain and the risk of losing a piece. A costly pair parades one’s wealth, while a cheap set serves as a whimsical accent. The ultimate reward for sacrificing the most sensitive body part is often nothing more than fleeting praise. In the moments of choosing and removing them, these tiny ornaments reveal the contradictions of self-expression.
