The Colors, Materials and Simplicity.
The cherry blossoms are pink, the sky is blue, the forest is green, the sun is yellow. The world is full of colors, just like my world. Color is feeling and emotion. The temperature of my heart. Pink, blue, green, yellow, color is joy.
The focus of my work is to present my fascination for the materials glass and porcelain. These two materials have oppositional charm. Glass is transparent and reflects a cold, rigid light. Porcelain is opaque, matt and it has a natural, warm atmosphere. From these two charming materials I make "sweet" jewelry in simple shapes and pastel colors.
