My collection is created in order that love might be visualized because it is the most powerful human emotion. As a starting point I wish to reflect upon my own exaggerated emotions that refract and project love. I have coupled love with obsession because of the way this implies repetition and in turn this implies a process of intensification. Even if obsession might imply a restless emotion, I feel that the combination of the two feelings have a mystery and vitality that has lead me to create "Crazy Mad Love" jewelry collection. I have mobilized seven different desires in order to indicate the different zones of the body and senses through which attraction is ciphered: sight and the process of seduction conducted through this faculty, the thought waves of the brain, gestures in terms of the focus on hands and wrists, the electricity of desire, the indication of attraction in the form of body scent, skin temperature and nuance within skin coloration, life force focussing on the neck that mediates the relation between body and mind, breath resonance and finally utterances issuing from the region of the mouth and throat.
