Infinities is an edition of 25 prints produced using 25 silver brooches as printing plates. Each brooch is hand-engraved with a grid and pressed into paper with ink, forming a corresponding impression within the print. Following the printing process, the brooches are inlaid with sterling silver and fitted with pins, transforming them into wearable objects. This act of inlaying brings the edition to a close, marking a shift from plate to wearable form. Each small grid operates as a self-contained unit, while together they form an extended field. The relationship between part and whole suggests a structure without limit, where each element implies an infinite continuation beyond the frame.
