1001 Fragile Faces
Together, we can give these fragile faces the voice they deserve
War leaves its deepest scars on the hearts and bodies of those least able to defend themselves: our children! Through this collection of 1001 fragile brooches, I aim to tell the story of the vulnerability of 1001 children affected by war. Each brooch, designed in the shape of a candy with a colorful, sweet, and deceptive appearance, is made of glass or ceramic, just like the innocence of a child in war—easily shattered.
These brooches are not merely decorative objects; they symbolize the precarious balance between innocence and destruction. Their fragility reflects the vulnerability of children caught in the violence of war—innocence destroyed in an instant, lives disrupted forever by fear and anger. This collection is a personal reflection, inspired by my own memories of bombings during childhood, and it serves as an invitation for empathy towards children still trapped in the cruel horrors of war. Violence and hatred must stop somewhere, and that stopping point begins with healing the emotional and psychological wounds of these children.
If you choose to support this cause by purchasing a brooch, know that you are carrying more than just a piece of art—you are holding a story, a memory, and a message of peace.
All proceeds from the sale of these brooches will be donated to organizations dedicated to helping these children recover and rebuild what war has taken from them.
You help heal a child’s heart and bring peace to a war-torn world.

Support Our Common Goal: For the Children, For Our Planet
The 1001 Fragile Faces project is born out of a deep sense of responsibility and love for humanity. Every brooch crafted is a tribute to the resilience and innocence of children affected by war. I personally cover all the materials and expenses involved in creating each piece—I do not collect any funds for myself. Your donations and purchases go directly towards organizations dedicated to protecting these children and helping them heal. Together, we can restore hope, love, and a brighter future for our world’s most vulnerable.
Every contribution, no matter how small, makes a real difference. Whether you choose to purchase a brooch or simply donate a few dollars, your support helps these fragile faces regain their voices. Join me in this mission to build a world filled with compassion, justice, and peace for future generations.
