Trace ring is shaped through a chemical transformation rather than conventional fabrication. Sterling silver is partially dissolved in nitric acid, allowing the material to react, erode, and reconfigure itself. The final form is not predetermined. It is revealed through the process, as the surface records the traces of dissolution, oxidation, and time. Each ring carries a unique topography created by controlled chemical interaction. The result is a surface that reflects both precision and unpredictability, where material behavior becomes the primary designer.
