untitled // “The Garden of Eve“

“The Garden of Eve“ explores how textile handcrafts can be rethought and brought together with goldsmithing and jewellery. 

The orchid serves as a central motif, reinterpreting the traditional link between florals and textile crafts. The abstract patterns resist the stereotypical reading of flowers as merely ornamental, instead suggesting insects, sea creatures, or entirely new forms. This ambiguity reflects how craft can be fluid, unexpected, and contemporary. 

Craft is not static - it changes with its makers, shaped by current realities and ideas. Making becomes a way of processing the world, offering moments of wonder, transformation, and connection through material, technique, and form.
