BOMBYX
is not a finite work, but a digital and intellectual cloud in a state of constant flux.
As a literary research project, it is dedicated to the human experience in all its contradictory depth. BOMBYX isn't defined as jewellery, but as wearable philosophy. A venture that consciously blurs the boundaries between art, science, and literature to place the all-too-human at the centre as a constant.
a breathing system designed for infinite expansion.
Each new collection serves as a chapter of an ongoing investigation. I do not strive for completion, but for the maintenance of a perpetual state of becoming.
An archive that never rests, but grows with every new iteration.
Based on the symbolism of the Bombyx mori, I capture the architecture of hand-sewn silk and withdraw it from its transience by casting it into the stillness of silver.

Ovid’s Metamorphosis
The first narrative is rooted in Ovid's Metamorphosis. This collection reads the literary work, with its 251 stories, not as a mythological archive, but as an operative mirror of our existence.
The fundamental fractures of our being—desire, the fear of dissolution, the striving for transformation—remain unchanged in their depth.
Every artefact serves as a material fragment, translating archaic forces into a new tangible language.
The research foundation of the inaugural collection is a 300-page academic paper that understands literature as a catalyst.
Delving into hermetics, art-history, and the transformation of archaic symbolism within the contemporary context:
How symbols, and words, have changed over time—a process of extraction and distillation that forms the inspiration for the design.
The resulting catalogue Narrative Distillates function as a bridge, rendering ancient heritage legible as a model of thought for the modern world.
42 quotes are the starting point of the resonance chambers of ancient tales within the contemporary world.
What began as an aesthetic concept for my first collection has evolved into a dedicated methodology and has expanded beyond the wearable.
The fold functions here as a central ontological principle: an act of memory and a poetic gesture with no return to ‘default settings’.
It is a techno-ethical dialogue in which the organic becomes a exoskeleton; a transformation of idea into a irreversible process that brings the moment into permanent form.
