Designer biography:
I hold a Master’s degree in Jewelry Design and Metalworking from Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design, a BA in metalworking, and a goldsmith certification. I’ve attended masterclasses with Caroline Broadhead, Gesine Hackenberg, and Manuel Vilhena. My work has been shown internationally, including at Munich Jewelry Week (2023, 2025), Tincal Lab’s Jewelry and Freedom Challenge (2024), the Israel Biennale of Contemporary Jewelry (2024), and the Legnica “WOW Effect!” (2025). I had my first solo show in 2024 and received awards like the Mydaybyday Gallery Award, Cluster Craft Fair Award, and the Stefan Lengyel Scholarship of Excellence.
Collection concept:
Time never stands still, and change is constant. My creation aims to represent transience, life, and change through the symbolism of dried flowers and crystals. The background made of dried leaves symbolizes permanence, while the brooches placed on it represent the changes that occur in human life. As the brooches are worn, they continuously transform—the crystals slowly wear away, the leaves break, and the original colors fade. Time and change are constant, but the events of a human life and the body in which we experience them are always different.
