ARABIAN LEOPARD NECKLACE | 2023

 
I’ve always had a deep fascination with the ancient. There was a magnetic pull that drew me to past history and civilizations. The energy stored in them, the symbolism, and sacredness behind every creation of that time are a reflection of everything they have been through and witnessed that has infused them with a wealth of life.
With the rapidly quickening fast pace of this day and age, it seems that there is barely enough time for the basics of living, let alone the more hidden aspects that make life truly vibrant. Self-exploration & the honoring of history and Nature. Each of us is a unique and powerful creature, with our own complex root system, history, mythology & dreams. The environment that surrounds us is like a mirror of our inner workings. It’s a powerful first step to start investing conscious energy into our external worlds. To make our daily spaces and adornments beautiful and intentional.
My creations are probably the most intimate external representation of the inner self. It helps us to bring forth, or realize sleeping aspects of our soul. I’m working at actualizing the inner spirit, in a tangible form, that we can embody and experience in our everyday lives; handcrafted jewelry to guide and adorn.
