My practice revolves around the end of childhood: the moment when something soft, magical, and seemingly endless quietly comes to an end. Moving between confectionery and jewelry, my work explores the tension between what disappears and what remains. It is about the desire to hold on to what cannot be held: the end of the party, the last piece of cake, the ribbon left behind after the gift has been opened. At first, the work appears playful and sweet, and only afterwards reveals the small pain hidden underneath the sugar coating.
