Being in confinement is being trapped with your own experiences.

My pen collections are not only part of my daily tools but also my past experiences. Collected during different travels and journeys, they hold memories of and continue a connection with the many museums I have visited around the world. The collection is also a manifestation of an obsession that has developed with the most simple item, but one that the most important tool for a designer to express him or herself.

I find that each pen has its own way of working with paper and developing ideas that are coordinated with the relationship of the body of the designer and that of the nature of the tool used in this exercise.

Being in confinement with my pens means I use them in different ways to express emotions that then become drawings. These drawings are often a starting point of crafting spaces or products: places and pieces of real and meaningful interactions.
