The Golden Touch

Recycled Carbon Fiber – 2026

An iconic ritual, disrupted.

Golden Touch turns the language of luxury upside down.

Here, a bottle of Dom Pérignon overflows — not into glasses, but over skin. A tattooed leg becomes altar, vessel, and symbol.

The carbon fiber backdrop anchors the scene in a futuristic tension, while the overflowing champagne evokes excess, celebration, and the spectacle of desire.

It’s not about being served — it’s about being sovereign.

A golden stiletto, a dragon wrapped around the ankle, the precise red of the nails: every detail seduces, but on her terms.

This is not a scene — it’s a declaration.

The Venus Step

Recycled Carbon Fiber – 2026

An ancient archetype, redefined.

Inspired by Venus, goddess of beauty and desire, The Venus Step captures the moment where softness meets domination — where elegance becomes power.

A golden heel descends onto recycled carbon fiber, merging flesh and advanced material, instinct and control, myth and modernity.

The step is not a movement — it is a statement.

What happens when beauty no longer asks permission, but leaves an imprint?

The Venus Step doesn’t explain — it asserts.

The Spark

Recycled Carbon Fiber – 2025

An ancient gesture, reborn.

Inspired by Michelangelo’s Creation of Adam, The Spark captures the threshold between humanity and machine — the precise instant when two intelligences meet, and something greater ignites.

Crafted on a base of recycled aerospace carbon fiber, the artwork brings together graphite and circuitry, memory and future.

The touch is not just symbolic: it’s a warning, a hope, a question.

What happens when the divine spark crosses into the synthetic?

The Spark doesn’t answer — it lets you feel it.
