Unlikely Matter!
Observing, feeling, and exploring what surrounds us is the starting point for this work, which emerges from the collection of materials and objects - some obvious, others unexpected.
We are surrounded by disposable items, and discarding them has become automatic.
But is that truly the destiny these materials deserve?
The result of this process is jewellery that challenges the eye and our perception of value, closing circuits and giving new life to materials at the end of their life cycle.
