Change, movement and surprise are concepts that run through my entire body of work. In my pieces, I opt for mechanisms that allow mobility and complement the natural flow of the construction. By combining innovative elements with traditional materials, employing diverse techniques and capturing the essence of each element, my work invites a reading between the lines and a personal interpretation by both the wearer and the observer.

Infragility 

Taking the material to the limit between being and non-being, looking for the balance between constructing and destroying, I show that permanence and control are illusions and fragility is palpable; we are changeable and perishable.
