My jewelry is inspired by the ephemeral nature of experience, a phenomenon in which the intangible, and fleeting moments are the basis for making sense of the world. I create jewellery in which you observe moments of beauty: preserving it and giving the temporary a life.
The work is rooted in the Japanese aesthetic that finds beauty in impermanence, imperfection, transience, and ephemerality.
