A Piece That Holds a Journey

Where I stand now—both in my artistic journey and in my personal life— feels like a kind of graduation from where I began.

I think back to the Collection Séries, with the Parrot, the Owl, and the Hummingbird— the first crystal art objects that carried my stories into form. The road from there to here has not been easy. It never promised anything. But it taught me to value what I hold today.

From a small gallery in Paris, to sharing CARMELO Paris  in places like Antwerp, this journey has been built step by step. And on a quiet street in Kloosterstraat, the Falcon found a place to rest. And its story started much earlier. It began with small steps. With questions.

With the choice to keep going—even when nothing was certain.

Why the Falcon

As Falcon marks this moment, it stands for the work that happens quietly—every day. The discipline to show up. The choice to move through challenges with care and intention. It also carries something bigger. In many parts of the world, the falcon represents strength, vision, and ambition.

For me, as both an artist and someone who built a life away from home, it holds that same meaning. To keep going. To grow. To rise, even when it feels uncertain. As I move into this new chapter, I carry a few things with me:

• The power of creating with a community

• The discipline of showing up every day

• The grace to move through challenges and turn them into something meaningful

These are part of every bespoke crystal sculpture we create. The Falcon brings these ideas into form through its materials:

• Lapis Lazuli — a deep blue stone, like the sky, symbolizing wisdom and vision

• Clear Quartz — a clear base, grounding the piece in clarity and transformation

• Hand-finished details — shaped slowly through an artisanal creation process

Together, they form a symbolic gemstone sculpture— a piece designed to hold both presence and meaning. Now expressed through two forms— the Masterpiece and the Capsule Séries— each one offers a different way to live with the same story.

I’m grateful to now have found another place beyond Paris to share this work. To follow where curiosity leads. To go where conversations happen.

Because in the end, this journey has always been shaped by people— by dialogue, connection, and shared meaning. And I hope you can be part of it too, as we unfold this next chapter—together.

A Question to Carry With You in your journey

If one object could tell your story—your effort, your growth, your becoming—what would it be?
