Shira, jeweller and jewellery designer. I started working in jewellery design out of a love for objects, fashion, and making things by hand. I enjoy colour, layers, and a sense of chaos, creating visuals that convey emotions and tell a story. My work shows thoughts or parts of reality I choose to focus on. Things that inspire me come from everyday life, such as plants, furniture, and animals, forming a visual language with surrealism as a natural part of it.
In my project Birding, I engage in the search for a home. I focus on elements of family life, such as shared meals, cutlery, and plates. Through images that remind me of home, I arrived at birds, symbolizing family, migration, my desire to belong to a flock, and the distances I must cross to find my path home. Shifts between past and present create moments where longing remains unfulfilled, despite my tireless preparation. I imagine the table as reflecting my feelings. The work deals with memory, distance, and the intimate gestures that shape a sense of home.
