Alicia Hannah Naomi — 'Ablation' Ring
An interrogation of accountability in the climate crisis. At its centre, a natural Faden Quartz specimen rests within hand-carved textures that echo glacial formations, a sombre reminder of the crisis unfolding before us. The 18ct Gold symbolises the billionaire class, the 1% who control the industries and influence the policies that drive environmental devastation. They extract, exploit, and profit with impunity.
Though positioned to enact systemic change, they shift the burden onto the 99%, the working class, represented by Sterling Silver. In Australia, both the LNP and ALP seek to push forward new oil, gas, and coal projects set to release an additional 1.4 billion tonnes of greenhouse gases by 2030.
Alicia creates her uniquely rugged textures and asymmetrical forms primarily through the lost-wax casting method, transforming them into wearable objects crafted from recycled Sterling Silver and Solid Gold, set with carefully selected precious and semi-precious gemstones. Specialising in unique, expressive jewellery with a dark, modern edge; Alicia's work draws inspiration from the quiet dignity and austere beauty of Australian landscapes, and interrogates their transformation through environmental change.
