This doll embodies the quiet magic of a seed’s awakening, a journey of transformation where one state fades and another emerges, fragile yet brave.
She is both the pain and the bloom, the tender reminder that every passage asks for courage, loss, and acceptance.

Materials: paper clay, wooden base, silk yarn, Indian silk fabric, acrylics, 9" tall x 4" wide

Gioconda lives in the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines. She has a great passion for literature, drawing, theater and the arts in general. She creates dolls and sculptures by mixing different materials, preferring those that have an intrinsic warmth such as wool and felt, wood and wood pulp, paper and paper clay.
