SILENT DEFECTOR Ring | Handcrafted in Oxidized 925 Sterling Silver
In Werner Herzog's Antarctic documentary Encounters at the End of the World, filmed at McMurdo Station and released in 2007, the camera sits with a penguin colony. The birds walk to the water and back to the nests. One of them does neither. It turns inland and sets off toward the mountains, roughly seventy kilometres away, where there is no food and nothing else alive.Herzog asks the marine ecologist on site whether there is such a thing as insanity among penguins. The answer is no, but they do become disoriented and end up a long way from the ocean. Nobody stops the bird. Carrying it back would change nothing, because it would turn around and go again.That is the ring. One that walks the other way, on purpose or not, and does not come back.
