Soul

 

 

 

This body of work is inspired by the uncertain and mysterious relationship we have with nature, in particular the simultaneous combination of fascination and fear often experienced. We attach inexplicable and fantastical meanings to natural creatures, some of these beliefs originated in folklore, myth and superstition.

I have referenced these themes to allude to winged creatures and the symbolism we associate with them. I am especially interested in the uncanny suspension of life in the process of the temporary deathlike and dormant state of insect metamorphosis.

This collection is made up of fabricated decorative and wearable pieces with an ethereal, strange and uncanny aesthetic. I hope people find beauty in its carefully created ambivalence.
