A portmanteau of "Soul" and "Monolith," Soulith is…     An inquiry into the nature of existence, inspired by Jung’s Collective Unconscious and the mysteries of the soul across culture. Soul as monolith, souls as monoliths, embodied by and mediated through object. An invitation, to wear philosophy, to philosophize through wearing. Pneu, Atma Ruh, Neph, Tama, Hun, Waka. 7 attempts from 7 different languages and cultures to come up with words or ways trying to articulate what having a soul means. Distinct in form, united in spirit, an inter-connected bridge To carry questions of existence as tangible weight against the corpus. Soul in the shape of stones, suspended mid-air; traversing dreams, the universe. Transcends adornment, a shared symbol—a language, a poem, a meditation, on unity. Shapes that gained gravity, forms embodying threads—woven from universality into silver, grounding the often unseen.             *click to read about SOULITH  Specifications 100% genuine 925 Sterling Silver  100% genuine Raw Lamb Leather Strap Approximate full length 21 inches / 53 cm   Care Avoid direct contact with cosmetics, perfume, lotions, hair sprays and other chemicals.
