Some day...

Although my project started out as a material experiment, experimentation and dealing with materials led me to discover that plants and flowers lose none of their charms after wilting (dying). Wilting is a natural part of their existence and is thus inevitable for every flower, but with a little care I can bring out their hidden beauty. I grew crystals, sparkling like tiny diamonds, on the dry plants to give them new life. By arranging them individually or in a small bouquet, I turned them into a brooch. These fragile compositions remind us of the beauty of life but also its transience and passing, which are hard to accept but will accompany us throughout our lives.
