concept
Karina's starting point was her own name: in anatomy "Carina" defines a ridge at the base of the trachea that separates the openings of the right and left main bronchi in our lungs allowing us to breathe. The perception that the very nature of the human soul is strongly connected to the underwater world and its simplest creatures. Take a deep breath to go underwater and in a metaphorical sense, search for the endless peace of mind somewhere below, in the depth of the ocean of thoughts. The watch mechanisms are like sea creatures with no spine, tiny breathing systems focused on elementary motion to survive by acquiring oxygen and food. Using plastic parts of zippers recalling corals, buttons in the shape of sea shells, form with function seamlessly together, watch mechanisms that resemble sea creatures that turn into jewelry pieces.
