Statement

In the context of my design I thematize the importance of fantasy based on the examination of imaginary places and the questioning of reality (s). Inspired by dreams and nature, I use found natural objects such as branches, stones and crystals to model compositions that have an earthly and at the same time supernatural appearance. Objects of bizarre beauty are created that appear to spring from the nature of another world. Artifacts of distant worlds as jewelry of special moments. My jewelry is a tribute to nature and an appeal to dreaming. Dreams form thoughts, thoughts form words, words form actions, actions form habits, habits form character. We are what we think. With our thoughts we shape the world. I see my jewelry as a reminder of the importance of imagination in our lives, because only with that ability can actively shape the future.
