Ephemera is a fashion film created for a jewelry collection inspired by the designer’s grandmother and cultural heritage. Through a sequence of raw, poetic vignettes, the viewer is transported into intimate spaces, where jewelry appears not as ornament but as part of everyday life, a natural extension of the body and even a human utensil. The film weaves together striking visuals and layered sound to form a sensory journey, with each fragment building toward a larger whole that reflects the power of memory, legacy, and artistry.
