About
Until three years ago, my understanding of jewellery was very limited. Hidden behind my superficial perception was an unknown world that I'm exploring more and more as time goes by.
Now, jewellery has become a constant in my everyday life: a means to express not only my creativity and aesthetic but also my principles.
Motivated by environmental consciousness and the joy of revitalizing overlooked materials, my thesis project delves into the impact of waste on the creative process. As a young designer, my awareness of environmental implications has deepened with each project, leading me to become increasingly mindful of the waste generated. This awareness inspired me to adopt waste as the primary material in my design process, specifically using metallurgical waste sourced from my hometown. Through this approach, the project aims to demonstrate how discarded materials can be transformed into innovative and unexpected jewellery, advancing a sustainable and environmentally responsible design practice.
