With THORNS, Guido Mocafico crafts a precise visual language that frames jewelry within nature’s own design. Each composition presents desert and succulent plants, including teasel, acacia, aloe marothii, and cow’s horn plant, as sculptural counterparts to TOTEME’s jewelry. The pairing of organic forms with the collection’s clean lines and refined materiality reflects nature’s sculptural mastery and the jewelry's precise design language. The dialogue of shapes, distinct yet delicate, imbues the jewelry with a sense of resilience. Through Mocafico’s lens, jewelry and plants resonate with a shared essence of refinement and depth.

“I’ve long been an admirer of Guido Mocafico’s legendary work and have been looking for the right project to begin an open dialogue. His ability to recontextualize the everyday objects we often overlook is extraordinary, and his work shows the true sculptural supremacy of nature. There’s a tension to these images that I love, and which is unmistakably TOTEME,”
- Karl Lindman, TOTEME.
