Vacide Erda Zimic - Peru
Vacide Erda Zimic
Designer biography:
Vacide Erda Zimic is a contemporary jewelry and ceramic artist based in Lima. With an international trajectory across galleries, museums, biennials, and design fairs, her practice combines material research with conceptual depth. Working with metal, textiles, and ceramic, she explores the body as a site of transformation, addressing cycles of health and illness, death anxiety, and regeneration. Her pieces translate fear, obsession, and humor into formal strategies that question vulnerability and material presence.
Collection concept
“Geometric Fragments” is a collection inspired by visual structures found in Peruvian material culture, reinterpreted through a contemporary lens. Rather than direct references, the work translates patterns, rhythms, and symbolic geometries into wearable forms. Using metal and textile elements, each piece functions as a fragment of a larger system, where repetition and variation generate meaning. The collection explores how identity can be constructed through abstraction, fragmentation, and the reconfiguration of inherited visual languages.
