What drives you to create?

I am fascinated by how a thread and a crochet hook can bring jewelry and accessories to life, almost by magic.
From the simplicity of a single thread to the structure of a textile jewel: my art is a magical journey guided by crochet. Behind every piece lie hours of dedication, creativity, and that pinch of sacrifice needed to turn an idea into reality. I return to creating every day because nothing excites me more than the power to give shape to imagination.

What inspires you?

My creations are a constantly evolving journey. I don’t follow patterns unless strictly necessary: I start from an idea and let it transform as I create it, embracing the changes that emerge along the way.
I absorb stimuli from social media and the world around me, then make them my own. What comes out is a project in flux, where thread and crochet shape an imagination that accepts no fixed boundaries. My creativity is very instinctive… just like I am in life.

How do you bring your works to life?

My tools are the crochet hook and the yarn — chosen according to the project but never at random, even though, as mentioned, I may change things while working. I start from an idea, but I leave my hands free to evolve and transform the project. Every stitch is a balance between technical precision and creative intuition.
