Pencils and erasers in different sizes, shapes, colors, and brands.
Objects of everyday culture, which embody transience, flexibility, and correction, are contrasted with a very traditional, hard, and durable material—the gemstone.
Made to be touched.

When viewing and holding these objects, they immediately provoke memories of the school erasers’ smell, feel, and past times.
Cut from various precious stones and thus completely deprived of their function of erasing, the objects immediately initiate the viewer's thoughts to draw pictures in front of their inner eye.

Just like their "natural" role model, they are table objects and hand flatterers.
“Ratzefummel” – the jewel from childhood.
