The world is,of course, nothing but our conception

What if everything in the world were a misunderstanding; what if laughter were really tears? ask

“My husband got involved with a younger woman at work.  I was relaxed about it at first.  He’s thirteen years younger than me, so I thought: ‘Shit happens.’  But then she got pregnant.  Luckily through the divorce process I had the opportunity to take over this shithole place with no heating, which I’ve turned into an art studio. And now I’m living my best life.  Everything is for sale except the pink chandelier and the dog.  Anyone is free to stop by at anytime.  You can eat or drink whatever you want.  All the young people in the neighborhood love me.  I’m the oldest person in our friend group.  Everyone else is in their twenties or thirties.  They call me Queen Mama.  I call them my adopted kids.  I always help them with their school projects and resumes and interviews.  I only ask one thing in return.  Each of them has to teach me one new thing every week: a piece of music, a trend, an idea.  Just so I can stay up to date.  Before you take the photograph, let me go inside and put on some make-up.  We were out until 2 AM last night.” (Amsterdam, The Netherlands)

I wanna visit this woman

A limited edition necklace made from combining a hand carved bone bead in the form of a perfectly detailed human skull and a ‘mortality’ amulet. Both were hung on a sterling silver charm holder and then on a nice solid Rolo chain. Mortality: this amulet is an impression of an antique wax letter seal which dates to the early 1800’s. It features the image of a human skull. The text surrounding it states in French ‘j'ai ete je suis, tu seras’ or As you are, so once was I. Reminding us that our ultimate destinies are all the same…

You can order one here
