"From my perspective, we are layers, dermis, epidermis, scale, brick, shields. Naturally, we cover ourselves with 'skins'; ourselves and our constructions.
We can observe these scales in historic buildings of Porto. This contemplation left me deeply moved and in love."
This necklace captures the essence of layered architecture and organic protection, inspired by the weathered facades of Porto's historic buildings. Each scale represents a layer of history, memory, and the natural patina that time creates on both skin and stone.
A piece for those who see beauty in textures, layers, and the stories embedded in urban landscapes.
