She takes part in numerous jewelry groups.Statement
My work is inspired by the growingly destructive effects of civilization on the natural world. My pieces illustrate the varied shapes, textures and colors of different landscapes and how these landscapes are changed by plastic waste. The images of plastic bags tangled in the branches, buried in the soil, floating in the rivers, covering beaches or drifting in the seas are translated into pieces of jewelry which become symbols to raise awareness on careless waste disposal. I create jewelry reusing plastic but also including metal and combining the ancient craft with new technologies such as 3d printing.CV
