Collection concept:
A collection of brooches entitled Landscapes I, II, III, representing my experience and feelings of nature, its colourfulness, playfulness, dreams. It is a translation of what I see into jewellery, which at the same time has a narrative note, it is like a postcard of daily walks and impressions of the world that surrounds us.
