In a historical, political and social moment where beliefs, values, popular sovereignty, peace, spirituality and the natural resources of the world are in constant danger, I had a pressing need to find a common thread that would lead me to represent, through contemporary jewelry, the depth, the essence of memory, the unconscious and the purity of nature.
In this research I came across something majestic, magical and almost unknown: the imagination of the natives of North America.
I started from the word "wakan" which, beyond the simple term, is a collective representation of the cosmological vision of the natives with which they tried to explain the inexplicable, the incomprehensible, the mystery, everything that is out of the ordinary.
As a recurring element in their daily life there is the concept of invisible power (manitou) whose holders are also the natural elements, but mainly the animals with whom they try to live in harmony.
