Acceptance ring is a ring that has referenced the form of the playground facility, monkey bar. It was inspired by the multi-way of how one could play on it. Player has the options to climb above it, hang below it, go forward to the end, go backward to where one started, and to let go at where one is at. The special part about this ring is the bars move base on how the wearer moved their fingers, it symbolizes the time and power one holds, and at the stage of accepting a thing or and incident. One should have the right to spend as much time as they need, not to be pressured or forced.

“Every storm is followed by a rainbow, and as viewers progress through the stages of grief, with all the deconstruction, at last comes the stage where people who experience grief might take the longest to get through, but one that will bloom after getting through this stage. Accepting facts and moving on to normalcy is often a tough journey, and this is where I am at right now. I finally feel safe and am taking my time to grow through each trial. ”
