3800cm majesty
Centimetre by centimetre this Majesty crown represents the 3800 views of royalty. It is made out of thirty-eight measure steel rulers all connected with each other into a look-alike crown made as a very movable object, as a symbol of upsurge and power. Strong but flexible to piece encourages everyone to create their own crown and to look into royalty with their eyes and feelings.
the diamond bread
Winner of NEW TRADITIONAL JEWELRY Contest,
2014, Sieraad, Amsterdam
This work explores the tension between poverty and wealth. The necklace symbolizes fundamental human values and the basic necessities of life. Its central element - a diamond sculpted from a loaf of bread - serves as a critique of a society in which some individuals accumulate wealth, luxury, and diamonds, while others struggle to meet their most basic needs.
