“I have often wondered, what is perfection? Is imperfection a failure? How could I be perfect? These questions go back to my childhood when I was repeatedly told that only the pursuit of perfection is worthwhile. I always felt that there was an invisible standard pushing me towards achieving perfection in life.”

“I strive to create a perfect collision of beauty and imperfection using jewelry, symbolising my connection with nature. Perfect imperfections exist naturally in nature and all of humanity.”

“I feel achieving perfection is nearly impossible, however, my experiences with nature have proven that imperfections are all around me… and they are beautiful. I discovered that naturally occurring, imperfect, eye-catching, and beautiful accidents bring individuality, diversity, and beauty to everything. Cultivating beauty in these imperfections has become a passion that drives me forward. I carefully incorporate those discarded/abandoned natural objects into my work to elevate and redefine the beauty of imperfection.”
