These bronze coins were held in people hands more than 1600 years ago! And now I’m playing with them creating one of a kind jewelry pieces: rings, earrings, necklaces. That’s a lot of fun to imagine if someone after centuries will find my jewelry in archeological dig and will be surprised to see real Roman coins in that.

Juxtaposition of modern and ancient – the only thing that excites me in contemporary art.
