Connection is a pre-existing or a spontaneously formed correlation between people, objects, or ideas. As a ubiquitous feature of human life, the effects these connections have on the entities involved are inevitable. Ruchita believes she is a transitional outcome of the resulting consequences of many such connections that she has experienced. By examining the emotional, physical, and symbolic impacts of these connections, she aims to create jewelry that serves as a tangible representation of their significance.
With jewelry, she expresses the undeniable existence of connections and how their effects play a significant role in making us human. When approached beyond the boundaries of the material world and adornment, one can see jewelry becoming the philosophically multi-layered masterpiece that it is. With her work, she aims to provoke thoughts, emotions, or ideas that provide an important link to what the world is to us and who we have become as people.
