Dora’s work is inspired by the fleeting beauty of nature's imperfections and the structured elegance of architecture. Through her textiles, she seeks to harmonize these contrasting elements, creating designs that evoke tranquility and peace. She is deeply committed to exploring the essence of each material, and her work often reflects a study of space, natural light, and emotion.
Her ultimate goal is to craft textiles that connect these diverse elements, offering a sense of balance and serenity to those who experience her designs.
