Description
Inspired by sisterhood. Shaped like a gesture of love. Each pattern on this piece was carefully hand-sculpted in wax, one by one, before being cast in metal using the traditional lost-wax technique.
Bold yet lightweight, they strike the perfect balance.
Meant to become part of your rhythm, like the rituals passed down between women.
Story
This piece is inspired by the sacred bond between women. The deep, powerful love that lives in sisterhood.
It carries the memory of being gently braided by the women in my life. A gesture of care and connection passed down through generations.
The braid becomes a symbol - of closeness, of lineage, and of the deeper ties between women and nature. Its pattern echoes the natural geometry we find all around us.
