This series of rings is designed in the form of four different rice grains, namely the embryonic stage, the tillering stage, the growth stage and the death stage, combining the changes in the shape of a grain of rice from rooting and sprouting until its death with the changes in a woman's uterus from the time of pregnancy to the end of labour, representing that each grain of rice is a womb that gives birth to a human being. The colours of the rice grain are extracted at each stage and combined with metal and eco-friendly materials to create a ring that can be freely removed and worn through the articulation of the slide.
