Collection Concept:
During this pandemic, creativity became, as always, my chosen way-out to maintain mental balance.
Having just a few materials available at home, I started cutting, rolling and sticking masking tape pieces together. This became a calming meditative process which brought memories of a life so different compared to what we were suddenly forced to live in.
Cutting, rolling, sticking together over and over again, turning like a storyteller images, people, emotions, fear, anger, sadness and hope into colorful delicate fragile forms, supported by wired staidly structures, making jewelry stories about the desire and appreciation of simple moments in life.
