Disconnections

The collection ‘Disconnections’ is deeply rooted in the theme of epilepsy and my personal experiences with it. Through the jewellery, I aim to translate and express the complex and multifaceted emotions that have accompanied my journey. Each piece in the collection is designed to encapsulate the struggles, resilience, and moments that have defined my experience. The intricate designs and thoughtful details are a reflection of the inner turmoil, the battle for acceptance, and the ultimate embrace of my identity surrounding epilepsy.

By showing and wearing these pieces, I hope others can connect with the emotional landscape of living with epilepsy, fostering empathy and understanding. My jewellery serves not only as a personal expression but also as a beacon of awareness, encouraging conversations around a condition that is often misunderstood. Through this collection, I aspire to create a sense of visibility and validation for those who share similar struggles, ensuring they feel seen, heard, and appreciated. This project is not just about adornment but about storytelling, healing, and forging a deeper connection with the community through the universal language of art.

''Addressing epilepsy in my design project is very important because it is a condition that affects millions of people worldwide, yet is still widely misunderstood and stigmatized.''
