Imagination can be seen as the ability to advance beyond the objective world. It is based on our imagination, which enables thinking in all its forms, such as remembering and visualizing. Imagination is a prerequisite for empathy, the ability to empathize with other people and enables purposeful actions. As part of my design, I address the importance of fantasy on the basis of dealing with imaginary places and questioning realities. Inspired by dreams and nature, I use natural finds such as branches, stones and crystals to model compositions that have an earthly and at the same time supernatural appearance.

 
 

“I believe in the infinite imagination and the power of thoughts. my jewelry is an expression of a feeling of nostalgia for a place without space and without time: a key to ones’s inner paradise, the forest of dreams.”

 

Objects of bizarre beauty are formed that give the appearance of originating in the nature of another world. Artifacts of distant worlds as jewels for earthly moments. My jewelry is a homage to nature and a call to dream. Dreams form thoughts, thoughts form words, words form actions, actions form habits, habits form personality. We are what we think. We shape the world with our thoughts. I see my jewelry as a reminder of the importance of fantasy in our lives. My jewelry pieces serve as a key to an inner paradise – my defined forest of dreams – and grant a glimpse of that place that belongs to everyone, but which everyone creates for themselves.
