I am interested in the functional elements of jewelry. For example, holes, chains, or pins. They are essential for wearing. But in the moment you wear them, they become hidden. In my work, these functional elements are still in their place. They are keeping their basic order, performing the primary function. However, they are slightly tilted in their original context, which is revealed in the process of wearing - asking the wearer for a new relationship. To wear my jewelry means to realize the desire of hiding something by showing it.
