✦ Custom design for Josie ✦

This design was inspired by the Emergence pieced from the Symbols of Transformation Collection.

Emergence was already claimed so Josie and I created an intuitive design inspired by a transformation that she’s experiencing in her personal evolution.

It was an incredible experience to collaborate with such a beautiful woman and to connect through the deeply human process of growth and becoming.

Thank you, Josie, for your trust and beautiful presence throughout this process. I am absolutely in love with the work we created together.

• Pura nostalgia •

Con la llegada, llega la partida.

Hay momentos en nuestras vidas que nos piden dar el salto hacia una nueva versión de nosotros mismos; esto requiere soltar viejos vínculos antes incluso de haber formado otros nuevos.

Y aunque esta nueva etapa sigue trayendo cambios, crecimiento e inspiración, todavía surgen punzadas de nostalgia que estoy aprendiendo a transformar en gratitud hacia el lugar que, durante tantos años, sentí como mi hogar.

Amor eterno y gratitud por este último capítulo de mi vida. Por la joven que lo recorrió con una curiosidad infinita hacia sí misma y hacia el mundo que la rodeaba. Y por el lugar que me sostuvo durante una etapa de búsqueda interior, autodescubrimiento y evolución personal.

Hay lugares que permanecen en nosotros mucho tiempo después de haber partido. ♡

Handpoked for Molly 🤍

I absolutely adore adorning spaces on the body that hold not only form but function + movement. It’s adds such a satisfying challenge to my practice.

Thank you always for the trust.

✦ Exploring EMERGENCE | the meaning behind the symbol ✦

In this series, I’m exploring the intention behind each design in the Symbols of Transformation Collection and sharing a little of the personal story that exists behind each one.

These symbols hold a deeply personal significance for me. They are born from experiences, questions, reflections, and moments of transformation that have shaped both my life and my artistic practice.

There is so much meaning woven into the designs I create, and I’m excited to begin sharing more of that with you.

This is EMERGENCE. ♡
