Eventually, most seashells break, flowers wither, and butterfly wings crumble and get ground into powder by the elements. I make delicate, unconventional jewellery—pieces inspired by and infused with gentle traces of living organisms. Every single fragment inside was hand-picked by me during what I like to call "intensive ground-staring sessions." Whether I’m crawling across a beach searching for a shell the size of a freckle or hovering over a sidewalk to rescue a particularly charismatic dead beetle, I’ve accepted that I look slightly suspicious to passersby. My cupboards are essentially a chaotic museum of wilted weeds and nice acorns, but to me every single one is a pure miracle. In order to preserve them, I embed these shells, grains of biogenic sand, and seaweed branches into layers of clear resin, finishing with a glossy dome. This magnifies their intricate structures and creates the illusion of items suspended in water. With each piece, I aim to create a wearable capsule that tells stories of the natural world's beauty.
