Entry Description

Linking Realms is a collection inspired by the connections that sprout from my personal coffee ritual. Influenced by pre-Columbian golden objects destinated to link heaven and earth, these pieces reflect the expansion of the self into home jewelry.

As utensils are embellished, they reveal their preciousness embedded not in their function but in their symbolism. The senses are enhanced, allowing the body transcend materiality. The collection sways in a permanent and ambiguous duality between the sacred and the mundane, private and public, tangible and intangible, body and spirit.
