At
EASD Valencia, we celebrate every year the diversity of approaches present in the students’ projects. This plurality is not accidental, but rather a defining feature of the school: providing an open framework that allows each student to explore their interests and develop their own visual and conceptual language.

Within this context, we find projects that delve into technical research, others that focus on innovation and experimentation with materials, and others that take a critical stance on contemporary social and political issues. Rather than establishing hierarchies, these different lines of work coexist and enrich one another, reflecting the complexity and richness of current practices.
This freedom of approach encourages more conscious, personal, and committed processes, allowing each project to grow from a distinct perspective that is both solid and coherent with the creator’s concerns.

Radical is a contemporary jewellery project consisting of a collection of four pieces, handcrafted from the rhizome of Arundo donax cane. This invasive species, which has become a plague in the Turia River Park, is the material and conceptual core of the project. Its uncontrolled growth leads to the disappearance of native vegetation, increases the risk of wildfires, and disrupts the natural balance of the riverbed. Through jewellery, what is considered waste is re-signified and brought into dialogue with precious metals and natural gemstones—such as moss agates, fire agates, and rutilated quartz—inviting critical reflection on landscape, impact, and transformation.

The alchemy of sound: representation of sound waves.
This project aims to translate visible patterns generated by sound waves interacting with materials into pieces of artistic jewelry. Using physical phenomena such as resonance and vibration, visualizations are developed and then transferred to the jewelry pieces. This creates an interactive exhibition showcasing finished pieces and inviting the public to interact with various devices, such as speakers and eidophones, to experiment and create their own sound patterns. Through this interaction, a direct link is established between the viewer, the physical phenomenon, and the final artwork. This project unites art, science, and design to generate an experience materialized in the form of jewelry.

Made in (S)pain
A direct and poetic critique of the predatory logic of fast fashion, denouncing not only the environmental and social impact of the global textile system, but also confronting it through jewellery as a political and emotional act.
In a world where material things abound above all else, where accumulation displaces real value and meaning, humanity is becoming increasingly fragile, individualistic and distant. Surrounded by excess but empty of connection, we find ourselves facing this reality, and I ask myself: where is hope?
This manifesto is born as an attempt to recover the human gaze.

A moment, a story, a symbol.
Each piece is an instant suspended in time.
Each fold, a contained emotion.
This project stems from an analogy between folding, geometry, and three key moments in my own timeline. These elements intertwine like an expressive language, where paper, fabric, and metal converse between the visible and the hidden, the structured and the ethereal, ultimately transforming into poetic forms.
The collection speaks of the process as a symbol and of folding as a gesture that endures, captured in the ephemeral beauty of the moment.
