Let's Embrace: Oblik Atelier in conversation with friends....
"Let's Embrace" is an idea born during the "stay at home" period in NYC. I created a pair of heart earrings inspired by @JGOLDCROWN graffiti I found in Dumbo, Brooklyn, on one of my walks. I sent friends and strangers"snail-mail" with this gift. My only ask in a letter sent along, was for them to engage in an conversation with me, a video call or an email exchange. I wanted to use this small project to amplify other people, their creativity, share insights and inspirations . My desire was to stay connected with my friends and to make new friends during this time that is testing our inherent human desire to connect and commune with others.

This conversation is a bit different..
Eunice is a friend, and one of the people I wanted to gift the heart earrings as we were all at home, isolated and concerned about the world. It was supposed to bring her joy and for us to have a moment to connect as we don't connect very frequently.
By the time I sent these earrings, NYC came together in support of the Black Lives Matter movement and I felt the need to ask Eunice about her personal experience around racism and thoughts on current state of affairs in our lives especially as residents of the most dynamic place, New York City! - Read more
