Flotsam

My jewelry is best described as “shamanic poetry of post-consumerism”. The process of discovering and collecting waste material from the seashore feels like practicing an archeology of today

Empty cans and plastic packages mixed with nature become integral part of the soil and - if humans survive their own civilization - form a future layer of the Anthropocene.

The oversized Flotsam necklace, inspired by tribal animalistic jewelry, replaces archaic components, such as bones, teeth, shells and animal hair, with beverage cans, plastic fragments and organic flotsam.
