About my work for jewellery journey:
Air is a non-substance material: you can’t see it. Only when in contact with other materials, like dust, water or other particles, does it become visible. When we take a bath, we can see the air in the form of bubbles, which is air covered by a thin layer of water. In the form of bubbles, the air becomes visible. But these bubbles are sensitive as they collapse when their time comes. I liked to create kind of long lasting bubbles, which are still transparent, light and with the same appearance.

My necklaces look like they are: "coming directly out of the bath tub". Their weight is next to nothing, like a breath of air. You could forget that you are wearing it. The jewellery is transparent and fits to all surfaces, is discreet and nearly without substance. But its shine and glamour draw the attention of the viewer, and a marvellous mixture of inconspicuousness and remarkableness develops. With minimal effort the impression of precious jewellery, pearls and luxurious necklaces is given. The structure, from simple geometrical forms, requires recognisable ornamental forms. Therefore, the hemispheres are arranged into “classical”, nostalgically-working jewellery, whose recognising value is high. By using this kind of material, they work, thereby, not conventionally, but airily easily, playfully and merrily.
