Birth
Volcanic Asimi reveals the beauty within chaos. "Asimi," the Greek word for silver, ties the project to the moon, symbolising transformation and renewal.
Molten silver, like lava, flows unpredictably until it's shaped by intense heat into something unique. This process embodies the idea that destruction is not an end but a beginning. Each handcrafted piece reflects this dynamic interplay, where new forms rise from the remnants, turning upheaval into creation.
