ARTIST STATEMENT

I create from chaos — forging emotion into form through metal, texture, and raw storytelling. My vision is rooted in breaking boundaries: between street and luxury, design and art, the beautiful and the grotesque. I merge traditional handcraft with modern technique, pushing jewelry beyond ornamentation into narrative. Every piece I make reflects a moment — sometimes pain, sometimes power, always real. I don’t design to fit in; I design to wake people up, to challenge what's possible, and to reflect the untold stories that shaped me. This is how I redefine design — not by following rules, but by building my own world.
