Spoils

Lo and behold, for the world have its secrets. What is written in the stars and hidden beneath the earth? But as we choke the truth out of the earth’s chest, do we fully grasp its consequences? “Spoils” sees MAHIJA departs further in exploring a different realm—the Old World. As a pretext, comes the ages-old European tradition of cartomancy, the Arcanas, which was taken from the Latin arca, “chest.” It ponders over mankind’s propensity towards treasured mysteries: to uncover them, unveil them, reveal them—these spoils of war.

Art nouveau-inspired figures of female bodies are intertwined with flowers of solid 925 sterling silver. These beauties are, however, juxtaposed with faux pearls and Swarovski crystals. Through “Spoils,” as you gaze upon these remarkable fineries, we invite you to this little game of ours: to question authenticity and ponder upon the virtue of ingenuity.
