Statement

By exploring human emotional connections through my designs, my work is characterized by a blend of traditional techniques and contemporary aesthetics, using a wide range of materials. It is an experiment on the connection between human emotions, memories, and the symbolism of jewelry. Each piece is a symbol of a specific emotion or memory, representing the beauty, and the fragility of human relationships. Through what I'm making, I hope to provoke a sense of self-reflection, intimacy, and connection in the viewer.
