It's Just a Pincushion

I'm afraid I can't tell you where exactly it was, except that it was in East Berlin, somewhere between the Vitra Design Museum and the Mauer Park. I saw it when walking that stretch, and was inspired by the graphical aspect, only to grasp the symbology and metarphorical part of it when I saw the picture

This unique and contempoary Jewish star pendant took me over 3 years to design, and I think the time I spent on it was worth every minute. The pendant is around 7/8 inches (2.2 cm) long and weighs around 2.75 grams each.
