A Container for the Feeling of Missing You.

A container for the feeling of missing you.

A container for us.

This piece is a brass container for the feelings of a long distance relationship: for the joy of seeing them again and for the emotional toll of leaving again. The piece is designed to fit in between two people's wrists while they hold hands. It draws upon traditions of sentimental hair jewelry and eye miniatures, with braided and looped hair charms and hidden laser-engraved eye portraits.

The container, by its nature, cannot be properly used without the other person, and in this state, contains the feeling of missing someone. When the partners are united, it can be held between them in a cooperative effort, and therefore can contain the relationship between them.
