About Lina
The name BOKIKIBA came to me while working on a project inspired by the Bouba-Kiki effect. I’ve always felt a stronger connection to soft and round shapes. But like Yin and Yang, balance exists in most things. It’s fascinating how something as sharp as glass can be used to create pieces that appear so round and soft. This balance became BOKIKIBA.
The idea of making jewelry from glass was spontaneous, and before I knew it, it had occupied my parents’ entire garage. My work is a constant process of playing with colors, shapes, and pushing the limits of crafting with such a unique material as glass.
Since each piece is made by hand, they all have their own little story. Some were cooperative, while others had a mind of their own—but that’s the nature of glass. It’s unpredictable, and I’m here for the journey.
