A dangerous trolley

I am thinking about whether a connection can be established between the identity of a person, the identity of an object, and the identity of matter? I try to use the transformation of materials as a bridge to explore the relationship between people, objects and matter. Therefore, while exploring more possibilities of jewelry, I also explore more possibilities of objects.
