Conscious Wearing

Focusing on the concept of fragility, I have based my collection on my feelings about the environmental crisis and humankind’s impact on the planet. I cultivate a ‘conscious wearing’ approach by creating jewellery which is passively impacted by the wearer’s touch. The aesthetics of my pieces and their materials (clay, silver wire, gold leaf) are strongly connected with the idea of impermanence, which the objects transmit through elegant, light and refined shapes. This alludes to the important changes that we constantly inflict on our planet. I am asking for us all to reflect on the effects of our movements.
