Noga Harel - Israel/Scotland

Noga Harel

Designer biography:

Noga Harel is an artist and goldsmith based in Israel and Scotland  whose practice is focused on a love for materials, textures, tactility and a sense of place. Her works are investigations of the environment and her relationship with it through wanderings, poetry, photography, and the collection of objects.

Collection concept:

Correspondences is a collection dedicated to my beloved poet Charles Baudelaire, in his beautiful poem “ correspondences”’,he refers to the highly spiritual connection to nature and the transcendence nature offers.  I have been fascinated with poetry and nature since I can remember myself and in this jewelry series I am paying a tribute to both. The natural world is one of the most prominent sources of exploration and discovery.

Correspondences: 

“Nature is a temple in which living pillars

Sometimes give voice to confused words;

Man passes there through forests of symbols

Which looks at him with understanding eyes.

Like prolonged echoes mingling in the distance

In a deep and tenebrous unity..” 

Charles Baudelaire.
