Textsign translated:
A solution of my own tears and "Hermes parfume pour homme", crystallized by oxygenation on my windowsill. The tears have come from thoughts about my father's early death, broken and unfulfilledpromises to friends and family, my girlfriend's
fatal illness, the girl I loved who never loved me,
fear of accidents and that I will do something wrong.
Crystal Tears
Photo, Necklace and text, 1993.
I cried for months and collected all my tears to let them dry.
Slowly, the salt from the tears crystallized into a small rock — a crystal — on my window sill.
After four or five weeks, it had grown large enough to be visible inside a necklace.What began as a fragile grief became something that could be held, worn, and carried.
