Every piece of wearable art begins with a quiet question: *How can a flat surface become a living form?* My latest sculptural brooch collection was born simply as a construction of paper. It started with a precise, shape assembly, layering, spacing, and understanding how paper behaves when structured together.
Yet, as the elements began to fan out, something fascinating happened. The shape dissolved, and an organic form took its place.
What stood on my desk was no longer just paper; it looked remarkably like a marine organism, a rare creature pulled from a fantastical, super-vivid underwater world.
A Luminous, Underwater Dream
In this brooch to bring this imaginary marine universe to life, I paired a rhythmic architecture of intense orange and serene cyan paper elements with a sparkling, colored mirror-finish base.
The magic happens in the reflection. The mirror base acts like a still pool of sunlit water. It captures the paper sculpture, multiplying its shapes and throwing back the light. The result is a piece filled with bioluminescent energy super-colored, super-bright, and constantly shifting with the wearer’s movement.
The Philosophy of Wearable Art
In my practice, jewelry is never just an accessory; it is a dialogue between me, my artistic research and the body.
While this brooch has the visual weight and presence of a gallery sculpture, its paper soul makes it completely weightless against the skin. It carries a paradox that defines my work: extreme lightness combined with an immense visual impact. It is a fragment of an underwater dream, handcrafted to be worn in the daylight.
Thank you for exploring this underwater world with me.
