Antiquity & Mineral
Antiquity
The skeleton duck creates a feeling of tranquility and wildness with some broken parts.
The opening mouth brings little ducks alive which looks like they are arguing with each other.Staying docilely on the ear.
Mineral
With a hollow inside, the whole earing feels semi-transparency and crystal. The two sides have different textures.
One side feels like smooth rock whole the other side looks like rough minerals. Hanging quietly on the ear.
