My practice is situated at the intersection of contemporary jewelry, art technology, esoteric symbolism, and cultural studies, where I engage with material culture, identity, and narrative through research-driven and experimental methodologies.

 

While wearable objects often serve as a point of departure, my work ultimately strives to formulate critical frameworks around what I term “body ecology.” I draw upon the intimate and narrative dimensions of jewelry to investigate fluid conceptions of identity, value, and perception; employ fashion’s systemic lens to reflect on established modes of production and consumption; and utilize curatorial strategies to translate these inquiries into immersive, publicly accessible narratives. Between 2012 and 2024, I conducted extensive field research across Europe, examining generative dialogues.

 

Between traditional craft, contemporary art, and future-facing concepts. Through experimental materials, interactive installations, performance, and social engagement, my work explores themes of cultural memory and self-expression within an increasingly technologically mediated global society.

I am committed to integrating artistic production, curatorial practice, and critical writing, with the aim of contributing to meaningful international discourse within the field of contemporary jewelry.
