Artist Statement

“My Magic Garden” symbolizes my inner self. A well-hidden place of safety,concentration, and introspection. There, I encounter my emotions, thoughts, and dreams, as well as my disappointments and achievements. Within this space, I draw the strength to understand, accept, transform, and evolve. It is a place of self-healing, where I return to innocence, become a child again, and allow creativity to bloom. To visualize this inner garden, I created perforated  metal and vividly colored flowers that seem to have sprung from the pages of children’s fairy tales. The jewelry pieces of the collection symbolize the inherent contradiction of human nature — its simultaneous fragility and resilience. By wearing them, I hope they serve as a reminder of our inexhaustible inner strength.
