Zira

Zira was the first girl I created, she is part of a collection I imagined for the Exhibition “Unfiltered” that challenges the curated emotions of social media aiming for an entertaining confrontation with the obsession for portraying a perfect life. I highlight the younger generation to showcase their potential for positive change. Their diverse stories and dreams paint a vision of unity, emphasising that the hands of the young can shape our shared destiny. These youthful muses embody the promise of a selfless tomorrow, believing in their transformative power to create a more empathetic and understanding world, regardless of race, country, language or religion. You will find a little bear that appears throughout the collection to mark the stage in our lives where we felt safe & comfortable just holding a bear. Zira was created with gold ornaments from Bogotá, kitchen scrubs, textures created from details of walls in Istambul, many other details I found in Gaudi´s La Pedrera, like vases and door bells,
