“My grandfather used to collect these beautiful fossils and shells. I loved the shapes, I loved the textures, and I loved the idea that they belonged to the past.

“Unity.”
“Diving into the canvas with vibrant flair/Ink flowing like a choreographed affair/From the nib springs not only blooms/It’s a symphony of sights, mountains, rivers, birds and starry night/Words and visuals, intertwined/A narrative stream that needs no defined/Expected yet not seen/Where boundless imagination meets an authentic mind.” — Shiatzy Chen
“Caushemar in the Kitchen, la COUPole.” — Weinsanto
“Illumination.” – Zimmermann
“Zomer’s Collection 03 blends floral motifs, neutral and vibrant tones, and sculptural elements, inspired by the duo’s admiration for artistic innovation and boundary-pushing design.”
