The word “control” is an interesting perspective to depict the sin “Wrath,” so the bull ring, which used to control animals (Bull Bling), inspired me to design a piece of nose jewellery. I transformed the cactus’ shape into a nose piece; the tiny pearls symbolize the thorns on the saguaro’s surface and wrath’s emotion, making it easy to hurt other people and ourselves. And the twisted parts represent the surface of the saguaro. It is important to learn how to control the anger emotion like using a bullnose ring to control animals.
