Brooch “Plants”, 2024
Silicone, rhinestones, vintage jewellery, cotton threads, 160X130mm

Brooch “Animals”, 2024
Silicone, pearls, cotton threads, 130X90mm

Human race is doomed. We are destroying the planet at a pace never seen before. My only consolation is that animals and plants will adapt and survive us.

My 2 brooches, one about the animal world and the other about plants, are grey and black. It will be what will happen in the dark transition phase. But both carry hopes with shining details : pearls and shiny stones are here to remind us what beauty was before our destructive lifestyle, like a beacon of hope.
