This collection reimagines creation through my eyes, inspired by childhood memories of climbing trees bathed in Greek sunlight. Trees, as guardians of life, mirror human growth, transformation, and wisdom. Their resilience shaped my understanding of nature’s power, leading me to Genesis, where the world unfolds in creation. In response, I crafted my own days of creation through trees and light. Each piece unveils a new day, balancing nature’s harmony with the tension between purity and imposed shame—symbolized by the ‘Tree of Life’ and the ‘Tree of Knowledge.’ Light and shadow shape the narrative, while accessories like horns challenge religious narratives that dehumanize nonconformity. This collection is a love letter to trees, women, and light—honouring nature’s strength and beauty.
