When art becomes a journey… ✨
It is not just a decorative object
It is a fragment of a journey, an echo of distant lands, a reflection of the soul.
"There's a certain magic in bringing an idea to life. It all starts as a whisper, a fleeting moment of inspiration—sometimes born from a place I've visited, a texture brushed with my fingertips, or a scent that transports me to another time. I love this delicate dance between memory, matter, and imagination."
As I prepare to unveil my “Mirrors to the World” collection, I take you to the heart of its story — born from the meeting of two worlds: Mexico and the Ivory Coast .
The Spark of Inspiration
It all started during the Covid era.
I remember those days when every news story brought its share of drama. Confined, fragile, we sought escape . A few countries remained accessible. So, we took the plane.
Off to Yucatán , Mexico - a land 800 km from my native Jamaica, where I immediately felt... at home .
The warmth enveloped me like an old friend rediscovered. There, the air seemed to whisper the secrets of ancient Mayan civilizations.
The cenotes , those natural wells of hypnotic beauty, reflected the sky with an almost unreal clarity. This is where the idea was born: what if my mirrors were not simple objects… but portals to other worlds ?
The raw textures of the stones, the geometric patterns of the temples, the light filtering through the jungle… everything came to nourish my future creations.

An Echo from West Africa
But the collection could not be complete without the imprint of the Ivory Coast , a land that I carry deeply within me.
There, cowries are not just shells. They are sacred symbols of prosperity, spirituality and protection. The golden details of my mirrors pay homage to the Baoulé weights , witnesses of ancestral know-how and timeless elegance.
Thus, two worlds converse in my creations:
-
The Yucatan offers light , brute force , memories of an indomitable nature .
-
Ivory Coast brings its soul , its symbols , its spiritual beauty .

The Final Touch: An Inner Journey
Each mirror in the “Mirrors to the World” collection is more than just a reflection.
It is an invitation to explore one's history, one's roots, one's dreams.
Natural ropes recall the fishing nets of the Yucatán , while Ivorian cowries and pendants whisper stories of inner wealth, protection and transmission.
More than a glass surface , these mirrors are silent accomplices .
In those quiet moments when we meet our reflection, it is not just about seeing ourselves… but about meeting ourselves . An intimate conversation with ourselves: who we were, who we are, and who we are becoming.
Each frame I weave or shape is thought of as a sacred space . A fragment of soul meant to honor your presence .
The Art of Testing and Refining
“I believe that beauty should never compromise quality.”
Nothing is left to chance. I test. Again and again.
I pay attention to every detail—even those the eye misses—because I know that true craftsmanship can be felt .
Sometimes you have to start all over again. It requires patience that I don't always have 😉, but that I'm learning to cultivate. It's a quest for inner peace as much as it is a creative endeavor.
Then comes the finishing stage: the choice of materials , the packaging , the visual identity , the presentation . Because for me, each creation is a complete experience .
"I think about the experience of opening a handmade object. This collection—like all the others—is not just objects. It embodies an atmosphere. A feeling. A story that continues once it leaves my hands and enters your home."
And then?
As we approach the launch of “Mirrors to the World,” my heart swings between excitement and fear .
Every mirror holds a part of me, and sharing it with the world is both intimidating and liberating.
But I know one thing: these creations are made to live! To integrate into your spaces. To accompany your rituals. To become silent witnesses to your moments of tranquility.
And I can't wait to reveal them to you.
