<p>Today after work we went to see exhibition of jewellery graduates.</p>
<p>Colleague of mine was displaying her work after a year of studying jewellery making. I have to say that we felt very proud. You might say &#8220;we felt very proud for her&#8221;, but I say &#8220;very proud&#8221;. And it is funny because I felt like if her work was my work or I somehow relate to her success. But not, I&#8217;m not related to her success apart from the fact that I know her.</p>
<p>And here is what I think. Jewellery is something what we are wearing on us, so first of all we have to like how it is look like, we have to share a vision of an artist on this piece (you wouldn&#8217;t ware sculls and claws if you don&#8217;t feel they have a certain meaning to you) and we have to be happy to represent a message it&#8217;s sends too. So after all, we do have a relation to jewellery piece we like.</p>
<p>Hmmm&#8230;looks like with every shopping, especially if it is a big luxury brand of clothes or jewellery, we want not just to make a financial statement about us, but we also buy a piece of success of that brand, a small part of an artist&#8217;s talent. And on top of this all, it does make us a bit prettier too. More stuff we buy &#8211;  <del>better</del> more talented we feel.</p>

<p>Сегодня после работы мы забежали на выставку, глянуть на работы выпускников ювелирной школы.</p>
<p>Коллега, которая работает со мной, выпустилась из политеха, и ее работы были предметом нашей гордости. Забавное это чувство, вроде ты и не причастен к процессу, к творчеству и к мыслям этого человека, но уже потому, что ты этого человека знаешь, то ты имеешь почти легитимное право на кусочек его успеха.</p>
<p>Самое удивительное в ювелирных изделиях то, что примеряя их, надевая на себя, мы невольно соглашаемся с концептом, с красотой, с сообщением, которое оно несёт (Я не повешу на себя черепа и когти, если они для меня не несут определенного смысла). А это значит, приобретая брошь или кольцо, я приобретаю успех и немного таланта этого человека. Вот теперь я понимаю, почему мы так увлечены шоппингом и брэндами &#8211; мы словно отдаём дань за бесталанность и надеемся, на приобретение мини успеха, успеха к которому мы теперь тоже будем сопричастны.</p>
<p>Попробуй-ка это сделать с книгой&#8230;.😖</p>
