VENICE – Rock samphires earrings

Description

Crithmum maritimum

Romantic Venice is sinking in front of our eyes as the water level rises. As part of the Musical City Bracelet project, we searched for a plant that will be submerged by the water of Venice’s canals in the future, giving it a chance to exist in the form of jewelry. We chose a simple and edible plant, the Rock samphires (Crithmum maritimum), which grew from a canal near the Giardini della Biennale.

I have named the plant “the future climate migrant” and played the piece La Bellezza (Roberto Vecchioni).

The Venetian Future Climate Migrant is available in the form of a unique brooch, a unisex bracelet, and a necklace.
