Contemporary multi-functional jewelry: A perspective of single 
I have tasked myself in addressing some of the challenges that women face, this will be achieved through jewels. The jewels reflects a marriage between art and industry; art been the ornament on the work and industry been the mechanical components that makes the jewels to transform. The mechanical components form a vital part of the jewels, but they can be hidden and this demonstrates true reality. 

Women are the backbone of society, but what they do is mostly not recognized. For instance domestic activities are not seen as work, therefore are unaccounted for. Hence my task as a contemporary jewelry-designer-maker is to share the intangible issues that exist in reality.

 The jewels not only offer the aesthetic but also offer the client the opportunity to participate in the work of art: participation is required in order to discover hidden meaning and magic. It is through art that reality could make its true entrance, by portraying reality through art. The jewels below illustrate the power of art...
