  • Momoko Kumai’s Statement

    I use tactile materials to create jewellery that evokes a spectrum of memories and addresses inner landscapes in my mind. I fold, twist and roll paper using my hands, at times unconsciously. The uneven layers of texture emerge from light and shadow, conveying emotions of permanence to impermanence that reflect ephemeral breath of nature with its fragility.
