ARTIST STATEMENT
In my work, I am deeply compelled by the use of symbolism, drawing inspiration from both personal experiences and social issues to forge a profound connection with my audience. Specializing in designing exquisite jewellery, I employ enamelling and cloisonné techniques to create intricate illustrations that imbue each piece with a unique charm and character. Additionally, I integrate various materials with metal to craft pieces that reflect my perspective on pressing issues. This approach often yields thought-provoking and captivating works of art that resonate deeply with my audience.
