Crafted from ethically sourced materials, this unique jewelry collection raises awareness about land subsidence. The uneven copper exterior mimics the Earth's cracked surface, while brass layers symbolize the impact reaching the core. This ergonomic design, reminiscent of geological formations, visually represents the varying soil strata, serving as a stark reminder of human activity's consequences. The collection empowers wearers to become conscious consumers and advocates for a more sustainable future.

My name is Akhil, and I'm a design student with a strong interest in exploring the emotional impact design can have on users. While mastering the problem-solving of design is certainly important, I believe the true power lies in its ability to connect with people on a deeper level. I'm particularly drawn to the idea that design transcends mere functionality and prompts. Instead, it offers the opportunity to weave together imagination and emotional resonance, creating experiences that resonate not only with the user's mind but also evoke lasting emotional values.
