Linnéa Ekelöf is a multidisciplinary artist currently working across sculpture, installation, and jewellery. She explores materials such as glass, metal, bioplastic, and natural matter to create fragile structures that sit between craft and technology. Her work often echoes natural cycles and reflects on tension, vulnerability, and transformation. Her practice investigates how fragile, organic materials, often shaped by water, can be transformed into objects that keep memory, tension, and care. Drawn to what the lake leaves behind, broken shells, fragments, debris, and stories, she is interested in how these place-bound objects can serve as vessels for transformation and resilience.
"WaveWorn" is a collection of soft-soldered jewellery made from shells and fragments collected along the shores of Lake Ohrid. Each piece is joined using the Tiffany technique with lead-free tin, allowing fragile, water-worn materials to come together without losing their natural texture. It is collection of wearable objects made from lake-washed shells and other naturally discarded shoreline materials, joined and shaped using soft soldering. The collection explores how we might live in closer dialogue with the ecosystems around us, by listening, by scavenging with care, and by honoring what has already been shaped by nature.
