Material: Silver plated with rhodium*, gemstones* Inspired by the parasitic fungus Cordyceps, this ring captures a rare biological phenomenon where a living organism takes control of another and reshapes it from within. Cordyceps infects insects, gradually replacing their tissues and directing their behavior before emerging outward in sculptural, organic forms. Its textures are both unsettling and mesmerizing, reflecting tension between control and surrender, decay and growth. Found in remote forests and high-altitude regions, it embodies survival, adaptation, and the relentless intelligence of nature. This piece translates that process into metal — a frozen moment of transformation, where something fragile becomes something powerful.
