The 1123 Collection is a tribute to my cultural heritage: a journey back to my origins and the ideas, symbols, and images that have shaped my taste and aesthetics.  My philosophical views and understanding of art are at the core of this collection: a series of handmade decorative plates with colorful carved patterns.  My designs are not just ornamental but in profound connection with the mystery of the creative imagination.

​

    My intention for this collection is to find beauty that will stand the test of time by reaching to the tradition—to the undercurrent waves that connect us to our ancestors and the eternal forms of harmony and beauty.​ Shapes and forms, symbols and images, themes and emotions that speak of a truth told without words.
