I love / Love

Our body. One, singular – unique. Do we remember to love it? Do we declare our love to it? Do we know that it is worthy of tenderness and care? Every body is delightful: feeling, exceptional, like the story you tell, like your life. Let us cherish ourselves.

In each of her jewelry collections, Anna Samków emphasizes that beauty lies in the rugged, unpolished nature of the world, in the rawness of the material. In the K0CHAM/KOCHAJ [I LOVE/LOVE] collection, she reminds us that human love begins with love for the apparent imperfection of one's own body. For in its imperfection, it is perfect. Jewelry is only meant to bring this out. "I love my body" means I know it is enough and I am enchanted by it. K0CHAM/KOCHAJ is an expression of that enchantment.

Jewelry doesn't ask about size, there are no better or worse bodies – it appreciates the context of every skin, it celebrates our nakedness. This is not jewelry for showing off. These are discreet reminders, jewelry whispers, notes in the margin, sticky notes on the fridge. You only see them clearly when you get close to the skin – it is a subtle message in a world where everything screams for your attention. These are very personal, even intimate things. Above all, they are meant to affect the wearer. They might jingle on the wrist while typing on a keyboard. You can feel them on your ear while tucking your hair behind it, you can feel them on your neck under a scarf or on your chest under a shirt, you can spot them out of the corner of your eye on a shirt cuff. You can turn them between your fingers.

Love! they remind. I love – they repeat. Like a mantra.
