Part of the inspiration for this collection comes from Dutch still life paintings of the 16th and 17th centuries. These paintings were also called “Vanitas”. They contained depictions of symbolic items, many referencing death or symbolic of different aspects of life, such as skulls, fruits, butterflies, flowers, and musical instruments.
This collection is a personal journey, inspired by my own whims and follies. I have put my heart and soul into designing these objects, and each one reflects a moment from my past or a hope for the future. I hope you cherish these pieces as much as I do.
