Jewelry artist

I consider how wearers get pleaser and decorated they body when I make jewelry. In a same time I has been continually designed it gives interested point to wearers and has natural form itself. Also I try to make all my works has little movement that becomes well structured of composite ornaments. 

My jewelry works begins from basic shapes. Spheres, circles, and cubes that are made of metal are combined together to create ornaments with dynamic rhythms and density. All of these works have variable elements. That is, their components turn or change position to alter the look, structure, and color of the entire piece and display different visual images. 
Variable ornaments enable a kind of "participation" when the wearers operate the movable pieces to create the look they want. This is my way of communication with wearers thought jewelry.
