HELEN HANCOCK

Ancient Arrivals
“Drawing inspiration from nature, particularly the wonders of the underwater realm, is a beautiful and symbolic way to celebrate energy and interconnectedness. By inviting others to embrace the unknown with open arms, promoting a message of openness, acceptance, and unity, mirroring the harmonious coexistence found in marine life.
Just as glass can be moulded and shaped into beautiful creations, so too can society be shaped by promoting understanding, acceptance, and harmony. My passion for creating a more inclusive and supportive environment shines through in these rings, and serves as a beacon of hope and empowerment for those I support.”
