In my work, I explore the relationships between nature, humanity, the city, and technology. These are connections full of tension and contrast, but also of unexpected harmony. What intrigues me is not only the difference between these worlds, but especially the places where they intersect, where the organic and the artificial exist at the same time, side by side, layered upon one another, or intertwined. ———————— In both my body-related objects and my photography, I explore how elements from seemingly different domains can form relationships. Materials rooted in nature and leftover remnants from construction are fused into new forms. In my jewellery, this takes on a tactile shape: objects that carry the story of our environment, made physical through layers, structures, and tension. —————————-My photography is a parallel search for images that embody the same themes. I collect fragments of my surroundings: unexpected compositions, clashes of texture and color, dissolutions of time and space. I seek out those corners of reality where wonder appears. The image remains recognizable, yet gains an extra dimension, one that goes beyond what the eye initially perceives. —————————————— In an increasingly digital world, I use photography to capture moments that are purely natural without manipulation, without intervention. What you see is what truly was. Through my jewellery and photography, I invite the viewer to look again at what once seemed obvious and to discover the unseen within the everyday.
