Lital Mendel / Walter Chen

Folds hold the old untold. Or, as Israel's Lital Mendel explains her "Folds" series, "Jewelry contains memories. Experiences and events are embodied in a small and intimate object which holds a special meaning to its owner. By wearing the jewelry, one can take with him his most precious and secret moments."
