A mutation is a change or alteration in form or in nature. Women experience transformation every day through the natural processes of life and the multiple realities we construct for ourselves. We transform in order to adapt, grow and better understand our own vulnerability. When we mutate, we transform from one state to another in a way of elevating the ordinariness of our humanity.

This collection of shells & pearls, objects of mutation, honor the perfectly imperfect and shine the spotlight on the mundane.

EMPRESS fills the ordinary with a sense of wonder. It embraces the tenderness and vulnerability we
share as women and acknowledges our transformative power. Created with an awareness of the fragility of
the temporal world, it is a profound celebration of the present, of life.
