With surprising combinations, wordplay and a touch of irony, he questions the conventions of the jewellery business as well as the way national and religious symbols are used and abused.

The issues raised by his jewellery and objects reach far beyond the jewellery field itself, disrupting our cultural habits and understanding of the self. ER -
