The Language of Couture

In Colifichets, I approach clay as I once approached fabric, intuitively, through gesture and touch. I still work in collections, letting form emerge from the rhythm of materials rather than a fixed plan. The way I learned to experiment in fashion, through draping, testing, reworking, remains at the core of how I create, only now through a different medium.
Clay allows me to hold what is fleeting: the softness of a fold, the tension of a seam, the silence between thoughts. Combining ceramics with beads, thread and textile, I shape pieces that echo the rituals of couture, yet speak in their own language. The name Colifichets, borrowed from the French word for small, ornate objects, reflects my fascination with detail, delicacy, and the quiet persistence of the handmade.
