Meg Ozono , Photo-Jewelry Artist
The World's First-Ever Photo Jewelry Artwork
The universe I see through a lens is one that is sparkling with light.
As I press the shutter, my eyes naturally well up with tears.
I understood how looking at something so beautiful can make a person cry.
The unassuming light was a blessing that made my spirit blossom.
I want to produce that wondrous sparkle that isn't captured in a photo!
It was from this emotion that I started to arrange pieces of jewelry on photos.
In photos that emit light and radiance, I set jewels and Swarovski, making the image even more dazzling.
As if you've plunged into your dream...filling it with thoughts of love...
Continuing to face the world before me, I want as many people to see it as possible.
I'd be blessed for you to be a part of the overflowing light and love in this endless experience.
LOVE
