Viewed through a contemporary lens, these “monsters” may have been misremembered or misunderstood real-world animals—filtered through limited language, cultural symbolism, or ancient imagination. But it is precisely this misreading, this poetic distortion, that lends the natural world its mythic resonance.

In this series of contemporary art jewelry, I translate these imaginative gaps into sculptural forms worn on the body. These pieces are not faithful representations, but speculative organisms—shifting between the real and the imagined, the named and the unspeakable. They resist categorization. They invite projection.
