into the blue“Into the blue”

For this was used the technique of casting. Made a mould from the sea urchins, let it cast in wax and transformed. When she made the wax forms she just let things be.
The work series “into the blue” is inspired by the sea and the mysteries, which it has inside. It’s the play of contrasts of the visible and invisible, the known and unknown, the calm and the force, life and death,… that fascinate the designer. It is a changing organism. Like Heraclitus said: “You cannot step into the same river twice.” For the two rings she took her memories from the life at the sea and transformed them into jewellery. Only the structure still refers to the ocean and its inhabitants.
