ENJOY VENICE: BROOCHES

 I RESIDENTI (The in-habitants)

Who will have a passport as a genuine Venetian in fifty years' time?

This is the question that arises given the depopulation of the city of Venice. If all the in-habitants leave the city, who will be left to live it?
Precisely them, the native animals: octopuses, sardines, seagulls, crabs, cuttlefish; the 'resident' Venetians who populate the streets, skies and canals.

Combining this reflection with the brass working techniques I learnt from working with craftsmen in Morocco, these brooches were born:
by wearing them, you will become a Venetian landscape yourself!

The animals, each with their own personality, will probably remain the only authentic species in cities of culture!

What animal do you feel like today?
