I don’t like to call my work “jewelry.” To me, that word is too heavily associated with “beautifying,” and that’s not always the point.

I find inspiration in nearly every aspect of life. Nature, art, emotions, and symbolism based on my personal experiences all play a key role in my creative process. I enjoy recycling and using the concept of found objects, both in fashion and in everyday life.

In my work, I always try to infuse a certain “flavor” that attracts — building each project with layers of the past, present, and future. There’s a reflective element to it: I constantly look back, but my momentum moves forward.

Do you remember your first project?
It was a pair of earrings made from a broken mirror I found in the trash.
It had a beautiful shape, which made me realize I don’t like symmetry.
Definitely not in my work.

What got you interested in this form of art?
My sensitivity to the world around me. I approach each project in a deeply personal and emotional way.
I observe the market, people, and how obsessed we are with “being” — everything has to be perfect, symmetrical, retouched, clean… but that doesn’t exist.

Every human being has slight asymmetries that are completely natural.
I love asymmetry. In most of my work, it is 100% intentional.

Honestly, I couldn’t imagine doing this project with anyone other than Vujo and Artur.
Their vision and dedication helped us achieve incredible results — something I value deeply when you have creative control over your own projects.
Three equally “wild” minds work better than one.

We were also supported by Karolina Jackowska, who helped us find the perfect place to bring our UFOJ to life.
From the very first exchanges and preview shots, each of us knew exactly what to do.
The intensity of the message came through completely naturally — we didn’t have to fake a thing.
It was an incredible experience!

Where did the idea for the shoot come from?
It started with a concept that came to me through my fascination with body horror and dark, futuristic atmospheres, as well as the work of David Cronenberg, which has influenced me since childhood.
Especially the film Crimes of the Future, where humanity begins to undergo accelerated biological evolution.

(Ears, ears, and more ears!)

How did you choose the wardrobe and set design?
Vujo and I were responsible for the styling, with Vujo taking the lead, since he was the core of our concept.
Thanks to his openness and bravery in exploring his own image, we were able to fully unleash our artistic expression.
The set design — full of mystery and a unique, unrepeatable atmosphere — was entirely Artur’s creation.

What were you trying to express?
A dense, provocative world full of bodily metaphors and psychological unease.
An image that doesn’t shy away from controversial scenes. It shocks, but also invites reflection on where humanity is heading in a world of technology and artificiality.

It’s a manifesto meant to help us see the world from a new perspective.
I love the lines on my face.
The most important thing is to remain authentic in this world.
