Statement

My work explores duality: the tension between structure and unpredictability, control and release, constraint and freedom, balance and imbalance. Through the dialogue between geometric forms and organic, fragile or raw materials, I explore how opposing forces can exist within the same piece. Their coexistence creates a dialogue between order and resistance, containment and movement, permanence and change. Each piece carries a story, like a fragment shaped by time, experience and transformation.

My work exists in a constant state of becoming, where balance is never fixed. I am drawn to moments of transformation, when forms appear on the verge of shifting, adapting or breaking free from their own structure. Jewellery becomes a sculptural language in which opposing forces are not resolved, but allowed to coexist, revealing beauty within tension and contradiction.
