Artist bio

Ezri Kahless is a jewelry artist and designer whose work transforms inherited silver and recycled metals into modular, repairable floral forms. Each piece is both mechanism and metaphor: a system for survival, renewal, and creative autonomy.

Rooted in meticulous documentation and emotional mapping, Ezri’s practice turns trauma, critique, and reclamation into blueprints for art and advocacy. Her designs embrace adaptability—interchangeable systems that honor repair, autonomy, and evolution—while resisting extractive industries through the use of reclaimed materials.

Flowers are central to her language: boundaries and beginnings, symbols of resilience and rebirth. By melting and recasting generational silver, Ezri reclaims narrative and lineage, refusing erasure and building new systems of care. Her jewelry is not only ornament but testimony—an architecture of emotion and ecological resistance.

Ezri’s work has evolved from traditional techniques to innovative modular systems, shifting from rivets to screws to ensure repairability and personalization. Each creation embodies her commitment to accessible design, environmental reclamation, and the power of craft as advocacy.

Through her art, Ezri invites others to imagine repair as ritual, adaptability as survival, and beauty as resistance.
