This collection's narrative weaves the tale of resilience and reconstruction, mirroring life's journey of growth through challenge. Each piece whispers the mantra of dynamism, inspiring wearers to harness their inner strength and emerge stronger with each layer of experience.

Using concrete in jewelry changes the usual techniques. Although apparently it seems to be a tough material, in jewelry, concrete becomes vulnerable, the silver providing protection and shape to it. As if emerging from the echoes of an explosive past, the Matrix Ring carries the story of rebirth. An artistic utopia takes shape in the brooch, a canvas of expression and renewal. The QuickSilver Ring at its core, a sphere floats freely, attuned to the wearer's gestures, a symbol of fluid evolution.
