Collection concept:
Pot
(dedicated to my mistakes)
Every year millions of oak trees are planted …by mistake because squirrels forget where they hide most of their acorns. By accident, ecosystems are created and the planet lives on. Failures can lead to a whole new world, literally.
I use the acorn shell as symbol and holder of gems. It’s a reminder that failure is a big part of life, and it can lead to something really great.
In English “pot” refers to the receptacle in which seeds are planted. Here, the acorn holds the seeds of imagination. In Romanian it means “I can”. So, this collection is about planting the seeds of our dreams and persevering, always meeting our mistakes with curiosity.
