SPIRITUAL HYPOCRISY - My Design concept for IIJS

Spiritual hypocrisy is faking commitment to God in order to gain power or money or people's adulation. It can also be stated as spiritual play acting for selfish gain. A spiritual hypocrite may be one who pretends to be religious, smart, honest, loyal, noteworthy, sympathetic, kind, etc. without actually being so.
The theme spiritual hypocrisy gave rise to my design concept – “unworldly word for thee” which meant non materialistic commitment to almighty or god.
The sentence includes pun the way it is stated. Not every person is true to his religious norms but there are few who religiously follow the spiritual path just to be socially popular for their selfish interest.
The materialistic world and yet you get to see people helping others…..is this fake??? Or is it real???
In the world of hypocrites, fake is what one gets in the name of spirituality…










The Jewellery –
The form of the jewellery piece depicts spiritual hypocrisy. The three smooth flowing lines depict 3 phases of life i.e. arth, dharma and kama. While the extended curved lines depict mokshya or salvation and the dark colored stones depict hypocrisy.
It is a neckpiece cum brooch that holds the fabric from one side as shown above in the illustrations.
Technique used – handcrafted jewellery
Metal - copper
Finish - white rhodium plating
Stones - rhodolite
