Snake shedding, delicate and translucent, is more than just a natural remnant—it is a powerful symbol of transformation and renewal. This rare material holds a special place in my artistic creations, where its unique texture and symbolism enhance every piece.


Lightweight yet durable, the shedding beautifully captures light, creating fascinating visual effects. I incorporate it into sculptures and compositions to celebrate metamorphosis and the cycles of life.


Working with snake shedding is also a respectful practice: I only use pieces found in nature or gifted to me. Each work becomes a tribute to the beauty of natural processes and an invitation to reflect on our own capacity for growth and change.
