Convergence Zone
Baker's influence for this collection reflects the duality of the human condition: Sweetness and innocence are placed in direct juxtaposition with symbols of violence and darkness. There is no clearer example than her "Lolita" dangling charm earrings. The pair is distinctly different–one earring features a heart, cherry blossom, swallow and bunny. The other has a grenade, gun, Maltese cross, "brass" knuckles and dagger.
