The jewelry collection is based on 3D models of the cranial bones of the author. The collection was created using the latest developments in the field of 3D scanning, which are used in modern orthodontics. It reflects the global trend of individualization & customization: jewelry which brings a part of the author or customer's scanned bones as a representation of his personal "inner world". The visual component of the concept includes shoots of flowers, making their way through the bones and holes of teeth. It demonstrates the triumph of nature and the plant world.

My goal is to combine jewelry with contemporary art to talk about issues of the modern world and philosophy through it. Experiment with themes and various materials to open up new horizons for jewelry. With meaning, difficult, intriguing, provocative, but still beautiful.
