Sun Tiki armband

Design Story

This armbdand for the whole forearm was requested by Jvan.

The tiki, symbol of protection,inside the sun (eternity), represents his father, and the turtle below symbolizes his family, with the four fins forming the headletters of its members.

The manaia is a guardian angel and a symbol of balance, whereas the other elements are a hammerhead shark (determination and strength), a gecko (protection and health), a manta (freedom).

The central part of this design was shaped in order to cover a pevious Japanese writing.
