Piret Hirv creates subtle, melancholy low reliefs in paper-thin silver, gently chased shapes appearing in the surface like ghostly figures in the mist. She describes these ethereal forms as imprints of her visions that do not exist in the real world, traces of something past. Her jewellery is not fettered by concerns about physical wearability, she wants jewellery for your soul.
