ETNIK COLLECTION
A Series Inspired By Ancient Cultures

This collection explores the rich tapestry of cultural diversity through symbolic and ethnic representation. Each piece captures the spirit of ancient traditions and celebrates the uniqueness of global heritage.
 
In an age where modernity often eclipses tradition, art possesses the powerful ability to reconnect us with our roots. Drawing inspiration from ancient civilizations, Indigenous cultures, and their intricate symbolism, this body of work evokes the beauty of the past while reminding us of the diverse narratives that continue to shape our shared human experience.
 
Across history, people have expressed their identities and honored their heritage through visual storytelling—be it through clothing, jewelry, body art, or hair styling. These enduring traditions remain a constant source of inspiration.
 
Created through an intuitive and tactile process, these freestanding sculptures are crafted using cardboard, paper, papier-mâché, fiber, and other natural or upcycled materials. These raw elements help convey the essence of ancient societies, reflecting their beliefs, values, and artistic expressions in a contemporary form.
