Tupac believed that everyone was equal. We are all as important as the next person, all as worthy, all as imperfect. SINNER, a quality we all share, was not a bad word to Tupac. SINNER is where you meet the moment of expansion on your own journey and find yourself on common ground with the rest of humanity. It’s when we all are in our most authentic moments- and ground zero for surviving any challenge we are faced with, as long as you choose to face it head on.
This piece features a Tupac-inspired "West Side" hand donning a solitaire diamond ring Tupac designed himself. The ring was a reminder of not just getting through a dark time in his life but coming out the other side better than before. He said he wanted to be able to wear five carats, to represent surviving the five bullets he was shot with at Quad studios. He designed the ring to have three carats and wanted two earrings with one carat each for five total. The reminder wasn’t about being shot. The reminder was that despite feeling hopeless at times, no matter how challenging the mountain before you may be, you can’t give up- you have to keep going.
Tupac believed we are all the same imperfect beings with the same needs, goals, hopes, fears, and if he was able to find the strength and the faith to fight the battles he faced on his journey, then so could everyone else.
