RELIQUARIES

At the beginning of 2024, I embarked on a project inspired by reliquaries and the Victorian tradition of storing hair in lockets and rings, which translated into bowl-shaped sculptures adorned with sentimental elements: personal treasures that evoke small alternative worlds.

The pieces, adorned with pearls, shells, and flowers, exude a kitschy softness and carry profound messages, convictions, fears, and memories. Inspired by toys from the nineties, the reliquaries preserve an aura of innocence and devotion. The goal is to invite the public to immerse themselves in this enchanted universe where memory materializes in space.
