I’m grateful to be participating in the SUBSTANCE / REIMAGINED exhibition at Slovenian Jewelry Week. Watching the exhibition come together through the videos feels very special. I’m happy to be part of it and appreciate your interest.
SUBSTANCE / REIMAGINED, Ljubljana
Center Rog, Trubarjeva 72, Ljubljana
Date: March 26 – April 18, 2026
Opening: Friday, March 27, 2026, at 7:00 PM
We present 110 selected artists from Slovenia and abroad who explore contemporary interpretations of materiality and transformation. Their works have been evaluated by an international expert jury, which will award prizes for outstanding artistic achievements.
The designers investigate the complex relationship between the physical, symbolic, and digital worlds, examining how material acts as an active interlocutor. The exhibition highlights how raw matter, through artistic vision, is transformed into miniature sculptures that carry traces of time, care, and presence. Substance / Reimagined offers a unique opportunity to reflect on the role of jewelry in a time of rapid social transformation and its profound impact on our identity.
Center Rog is the central venue of the Substance / Reimagined exhibition and the entire SIJW 2026 program.

In modern life, fleeting moments of brilliance hold profound meaning. This work reinterprets matter through the Veiled Lady mushroom, who’s delicate, lacy mesh and voluminous form appear only briefly before vanishing. Combining traditional metalwork with 3D printing, wax cutting and casting, the artist transforms the ephemeral qualities of the mushroom into wearable jewelry, creating a dialogue between material, experience and essence. The piece captures transience, transforms fleeting beauty into lasting form and explores the tension between physical matter and intangible presence. When worn, the jewerly channels vitality and encourages reflection on transience, essence and the convergence of the natural, human and technological worlds.

V sodobnem življenju minljivi trenutki sijaja nosijo globok pomen. To delo reinterpretira snov skozi gobo Veiled Lady, katere nežna, čipkasta mreža in volumna oblika se pojavita le za kratek čas, preden izgineta. Z združevanjem tradicionalnega kovinskega dela s 3D-tiskanjem, rezanjem voska in vlivanjem avtorica preoblikuje minljive lastnosti gobe v nosljiv nakit, ustvarjajoč dialog med materialom, izkušnjo in bistvom. Kos ujame minljivost, preoblikuje bežno lepoto v trajno obliko in raziskuje napetost med fizično snovjo in neoprijemljivo prisotnostjo. Ko je nakit nošen, kanalizira vitalnost in spodbuja razmislek o minljivosti, bistvu ter konvergenci naravnega, človeškega in tehnološkega sveta.
