This project began with my struggle with insomnia.
I wanted to turn healing into something physical—objects that can be worn, touched, and felt. Inspired by dragons as silent protectors from my dreams, I blended soft scents and sculptural forms, using silver and zirconia to echo shimmering dragon scales. The brushed metal finish mimics the reflection of light on water, evoking a sense of safety and movement.
I craft scent components from ground natural materials—ambergris, frankincense, sandalwood, citrus, lavender, and rose. These can be gently worn or ignited, offering a portable ritual of comfort and solace. The custom formula allows clean diffusion with minimal smoke or residue. Merging jewellery and modular installation, this collection creates a sensory sanctuary—quiet, intimate, and always under the protective gaze of a dragon.
