I show works that invite to touch.
Which, at the same time, could become unfriendly if you get too close.
Soft materials, sometimes shimmering elements, the use of green and pink tones, shaped into various jewels give a seductive impression, but don't want to challenge physical contact.
You may think I look pretty,
But that doesn't make you have the authority to touch me.
With this project I want to show how it is to be a woman in this world. Created from my own (often not so good) experiences, I raise the question "Do you have permission to touch me?"
Often, I get catcalled, harassed, or even touched without giving permission, the same goes for my pieces.
Think before you act.
