The artists set out from the similarity between the necklace stands of Videksan and the throat part of the Amphorae.

 

Our lives lost in Soma, 301 Commitment to the memory of our Mining  Primitives and nature are so ornate. They make themselves strong, attractive and mystical through their images, jewelry and the colors they are painted in. So they can exist as a part of nature and participate in this endless colorful feast. Despite the glamor of peacocks or jewels with their magnificent beauty, which represents adornment and arrogance in mythology, some prefer to be adorned only with their favorite ones. Dressing up can mask or completely reveal who and what we are and our true worth. Throughout the ages, every society, from the most primitive to the most advanced, has been embellished with the values ​​of its own land. He dug valuable things from under the soil or buried valuable things in the ground and hid them. Amphoras, which are a kind of storage container, made of mud, and whose form we use to resemble humans, are also usually buried in the ground. Its shape is schematic aside, what makes it valuable is what it stores and carries and its history, just like humans. We look for jewels in the hidden places of the earth, in the deepest parts. While some run to the bottom in pursuit of a rare diamond, some dig deep into the soil and turn the "black diamond" into value by extracting the "black diamond" from the bottom of the ground with a lot of effort and effort. So what is precious?... Dedicated to the memory of our 301 Miners and our souls we lost in Soma...
