concept
The collection captures the spirit of Latin American celebrations. Combining thread with cardboard, questioning the idea of value and luxury in a world where these two concepts are so socially relevant. Some of her pieces are covered in gold leaves, referencing traditional jewellery materials and the notions of power behind them. Domination has shaped Latin American culture and still has a significant impact on today’s economies. “Fiesta” represents this complex cultural map: colourful celebrations, povera jewellery and the role of gold in a context of multiple socioeconomic challenges.
