Statement

Beautiful city  is the common title of my work since 2000. 

I am working on involving time and transformation in my work, through perception, thinking and acting i am trying to show the transition in between these dimensions. Each time you see two fases of one necklace: the fase of invention and the fase of wearing the piece. I am fascinated by the difference that appears in the transition from one to the other. By wearing the necklace you make it to your own, but you don’t lose it’s basic structure, you can restore it whenever you want to. Time goes on repeating itself differently.
