Woekeren (overgrown) is about wanting to break deep-rooted patterns and old-fashioned ideas about the passive, dependent woman that still surrounds us through Christianized fairy tales; century-old stories from which every form of self-determination of women has been actively extracted since the 19th century. By reclaiming elements of stories appropriated by the Church into the feminine idiom and into my collection, I create jewellery that symbolises freedom of choice and autonomy. Jewellery that reminds us of the power within ourselves and the ability to change our lives.
