This collection was born from a deeply personal transition.
From a winter, both outside and within.
Like Persephone, I descended into the underworld, into the deepest parts of myself, where the hardest questions live. A place without light, yet full of truth.
I sculpted these pieces just as the answers began to emerge. Just as I felt something within me rising back to the surface. But I was no longer the same.
Persephone is not only the goddess of spring. She is the woman who dies in order to be reborn.
She descends into the underworld and returns bearing gifts.
She lives between two worlds, light and shadow. She is the wife of Hades, the embodiment of fear, darkness, and the unconscious.
She is also the daughter of Demeter, forever connected to tenderness, ancestry, and memory.
This collection became my way back.
Through clay, through the warmth of my hands, through the fire of the kiln, I found my way to a new version of myself.

Symbols of the collection
• The pomegranate represents maturity, feminine initiation, and conscious choice. I created it as an act of surrender to mystery, to that moment when you have no idea where you’re going, yet you know you can no longer remain where you once were.
• The hand-shaped incense holders symbolize Destiny holding us. Hands that protect. A gesture of openness to the unseen.
• The Mother Rabbit represents the bond between Persephone and her mother, Demeter. But she also speaks of the transformation through which we become our own mother, our own safe place, our own home.
• The symbolic brush rests are like the first flowers after a long winter. Small signs that inspire and guide us, reminding us that creativity is life itself.

The Persephone Collection is for those who have also walked through darkness.
For those who recognize strength in tenderness.
For the women who move through their own seasons of transformation and create a new light from within.
