The ANIMA series is a collection of high-resolution tectonic pieces that aim to embody the essence of a living soul. Through intricate details, flowing lines, and vibrant colours, the geometry represents the vital, animating force that exists within all living beings. Each artwork in this series portrays a unique, otherworldly creature, celebrating life in its most unrefined and purest form. ANIMA explores various scales, from architectural elements to wearable jewellery, bridging the gap between the human body and the environments we inhabit. By showcasing the vibrant energy of natural organisms through movement, textures, and vivid hues, this series invites an exploration of the dynamic energy that defines life itself.
Analogue Collection investigates the contradiction and commonality between soft and hard materials. Handcrafted primarily in sterling silver, this series of rings, earrings, and necklaces takes a sculptural approach, conveying its narrative through form and texture. The collection plays with the inherent qualities of materials – rigid yet fluid, solid yet delicate – blurring the boundaries between opposing forces, allowing conflicts to settle. Through the process of making, materials find a way to coexist, resulting in wearable pieces that feel both structured and organic as they rest against the body.
