Statement

I consider my jewellery like a lure that tricks and seduces, similar to the situation in angling where the fish encounters the bait. I was inspired by the idea of curiosity, because it is part of the human condition. Each of my works is a metaphorical reflection based on these ideas. Each of them tells small situations whose aim is to evoke stories in the viewer's memory. My pieces are made of different materials so that people want to touch and carry them.
