DESIGN NAME: Raindrops
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Pendant
INSPIRATION: I got inspired by the quote "Maybe raindrops are the bravest thing created by God. Want to know why? It is because they are never afraid of falling." Under this quote, these pendants are made for people who try living hard in their society and I hope they can be encouraged in various situations by these raindrops pendants.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: I got inspired by the quote "Maybe raindrops are the bravest thing created by God. Want to know why? It is because they are never afraid of falling." I tried to let them have a strong presence by thickness even they are small pieces.

PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: This project started in 2016 and finished in 2017. Made in San Francisco, CA, USA.
