PHILOSOPHY
The pieces form a growing body of work that explores our experience of the body, by testing how form can emerge from physical interaction and be reintroduced to the body in a new way.
By pressing clay or wax against the body, a multiplicity of artifacts emerges. The process draws on the memory and intelligence of the body and its emotional experience. Traces of movement are cast in silver, where gestures are preserved and made available to the wearer in both visual and tangible form.
This ongoing exploration seeks a point zero: a space where opposites and paradoxes coexist without resolution or judgement, where form remains open to interpretation.
As these artifacts return to the body, they act as grounding extension of the body, through weight, contact, and form, recalling the presence of the body.

Educated at TU Delft and TU Berlin and trained in architecture studios across Europe, she approaches jewelry as architecture using the body as a site, creating wearable studies of space, weight, and intimacy.
