Transformation experiment

Brooches,  2025

This collection began as a small experiment in transformation—breaking apart familiar forms, stretching and reshaping them to discover new life in motion and distortion. The twelve zodiac animals are no longer fixed symbols, but shifting figures, mirroring the ever-changing nature of time itself. Each twist, extension, and deformation becomes an echo of emotion, a trace of memory in flux.
