The piece explores the dialogue between body and object, drawing on the organic, rounded forms of Brazilian modernist art and the visual language of binding and restraint. 
The rich texture of the wood contrasts with its minimal structure, creating a quiet tension that invites the body to become both wearer and sculpture.

Inspired by the organic shapes of seed pods and the flowing curves of Brazilian modernist art and architecture, these brooches, designed to be worn under clothing, subtly alter the body’s silhouette. 
To anchor the hidden structure to the garment, I created a narrative of tension: one brooch “pushes” a sphere inward, the other “pulls” outward—using jarina and clear quartz to articulate this gesture.

Hand-carved from an Amazonian seed harvested sustainably by local communities, the form draws on the aesthetics of binding and restraint.
The ring explores what it means to bind material to the body—transforming both shape and meaning in an act of cultural reclamation.

This sculptural ring draws inspiration from the organic contours of seedpods, evoking a sense of growth and transformation. 
At its center, a clear quartz cabochon rests like a droplet of water or a magnifying lens, subtly enlarging the landscape of the skin beneath it.
