Unveiling the uncommon: My exhibition at Merci Paris

September 2023 marked a key moment in my artistic journey, as I had the immense honor of presenting a collection at Merci, the renowned Parisian concept store known for its eclectic and forward-thinking approach to retail.

The collection was a celebration of the ordinary transformed into the extraordinary. Drawing on items that carry stories and histories—whisky flasks, apothecary jars, and laundry detergent cans—I reimagined these everyday objects as vessels of beauty and utility.

Creating for Merci challenged me to push the boundaries of my work while maintaining the essence of my artistic vision. The pieces for this exhibition are functional art that invites interaction and contemplation.

The collaboration with Merci was not only an opportunity to showcase my work to a broader audience but also a moment of reflection on the role of art in everyday life.
