Intro
As every year, the teaching team of the EASD Valencia is very satisfied with the quality and variety of the proposals of our students. Specifically, in this course we observe how all the projects have a strong protest and social component, as well as points of view and ways of approaching these completely personal ideas. We are pleased to see that we can provide students with this creative freedom and this desire to express themselves.

LICHT
The idea for my project initially arose the day my father received a pacemaker. I really liked telling him my ideas, and together we investigated and created “freaks.” He was a surgeon, so passionate about his work that he had a small workshop at home where he created, improvised and repaired pieces of surgical materials. I loved his inventions and when I started to get into jewelry, he was my mentor. Unconsciously, my designs were inspired by his. And as a final work, I wanted to dedicate my latest project to him.
A new heart, since his was damaged, (and among other things, I was often the culprit of that damage). But I thought that even a broken heart could be repaired, and even more so if he helped me, since he always knew how to fix everything I broke.
We started this project together. But it was too late to finish him off. And I couldn't fix the heart in time.
But everything I have, everything I do, everything I am. My inspiration, my designs, my art. All this is not just mine, it is also his. We started it together, he did it for me. And I finished it alone, I do it for him.
In my piece I am based on the fusion of jewelry and an audiovisual work, which is incorporated into the interior, using technological mechanisms, fused with art and jewelry. The video is made up of a series of images, which create the so-called “life review experiences” phenomenon, which is said to be when you see life pass before your eyes before you die. It represents light, which coincidentally, is the meaning of LICHT.

Poetic language in Artistic Jewelry
The pieces which compose this project are a mixture of two disciplines: jewelry and poetry. It pretends to transform the untangible reality of the word into a tangible creation, to materialize the metaphor and communicate the rhythm and the emotion of a poem.
All three pieces belong to my alter ego writings whose character is Lola Pan.

Art Renouveau
Inspired by the Art Nouveau style and designers, the intricate pieces combine modern technology, in the face of computer design, with traditional techniques, such as complicated fire enameling. The intention behind the project, apart from learning and exploring, is to commemorate this beautiful and unique style in our new world, which is so full of technological advances and minimalism, but still place it within a contemporary context. Concept-wise, the pieces are inspired by Aesop's fables ‘The Sun and The Wind’ and ‘The Hen that laid Golden Eggs’. In the beginning I was mostly focused on learning the techniques and incorporating the Art Nouveau spirit, but I needed a concept of the project, and since I tend to work on topics related to nostalgia from my childhood, I picked the only type of books I would read as a child.

ARTHROCORIUM
ARTHROCORIUM is a project born out of fascination with arthropods. The resilience shown by these small and fragile creatures protected by chitinous covers inspires me to create human “exoskeletons”. The pieces create a visual armor that doesn’t fully cover nor protect the body, symbolizing our simultaneous strength and fragility.
The title is a combination of the word arthropod and the latin word “corium”, meaning both leather and breastplate.
"Rhinoceros", "Sceliphron" and "Dendrocephalus", the three pieces that form this collection, are named after the species of arthropods that inspired each of the designs.

MEMORI, Luces y sombras
A series of unique pieces to transport people to their memories, representing them with different image transmission techniques and creating jewelry that identifies with each personal story, pieces that tell stories kept in container boxes. To do this, I reuse and recycle tin cans to save and preserve memories.
With this project I want to invite and encourage the viewer to remember, since I believe that without memories there is no life, and I do so through what I call the memori box.
The project becomes my way of remembering, representing, enjoying and learning from memories.
