Reality is a dream — simple to imagine, harder to realize. In Dream and Reality, contemporary and traditional jewelry meet, exploring themes of disposability, identity, and self-awareness. These works oscillate between dream and truth, provoking responses of emotion, humor, and irony — bold, unapologetic, and unforgettable.
