Allouette

Experimental necklaces that cross the line between applied and free art, are made from an unexpected material - cellulose, specifically toilet paper. This everyday object we use automatically, without thinking deeply about its origin, composition or meaning. Yet it is made of wood - most often pine or spruce, pine, birch and, to a lesser extent, eucalyptus. The process of hardening and preservation gives the paper new properties. It becomes strong material that can be cut, sanded and polished - just like the wood that originally it was originally created. Paper thus symbolically returns to its source, but at the same time it is transformed into a mass that loses its original legibility. The viewer finds himself in front of an object that does not reveal its identity at first sight and invites reflection. In my work, the question arises: How to materialize what we normally overlook? How to ennoble the ordinary material of everyday life? And how to awaken the viewer's interest in the very the essence of the things we take for granted?
