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 1001 children affected by war. Each brooch, shaped like a piece of candy with a colorful, sweet, and deceptive appearance, is made of glass or ceramic. Just like the innocence of a child in war, it is beautiful, vulnerable, and easily shattered.
These brooches are not merely decorative objects. They symbolize the delicate balance between innocence and destruction. Their fragility reflects the vulnerability of children caught in violence. Innocence can be destroyed in an instant, and lives can be disrupted forever by fear and anger.
This collection is a deeply personal reflection, inspired by my own memories of childhood bombings. It is also an invitation for empathy, a way to help us see, feel, and care for children who are still enduring the cruel horrors of war.
Violence and hatred must stop somewhere. That place is within the heart, where healing begins.
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.
90% of the profits from the sale of these brooches will be donated to trusted humanitarian organizations supporting children affected by war, helping them heal, recover, and rebuild their lives. The remaining 10% will contribute to the creation of a public memorial sculpture that stands as a lasting message to future generations, reminding them that in this era, there were voices that rose and begged for peace.
You help heal a child’s heart and bring peace to a war-torn world.
Together, we can give these fragile faces the voice they deserve
We dream of a tomorrow where violence no longer stains childhood. We imagine a world where people come together to heal the wounds of the past.
We believe in turning pain into peace, and fragility into strength. We imagine a world where the sounds of war are replaced by the gentle hum of compassion.
