Optimal Experience is an ongoing project positioned at the intersection between handcrafting and publishing.
The title refers to psychologist Mihály Csíkszentmihályi’s theory of optimal experience, determined by a state of consciousness called flow, during which people experience a deep enjoyment, creativity and a total involvment with life.
As a response to a hard time in life, the beading practice became a coping mechanism, and a way to find peace.
The beaded rings, sold on request, are handwoven in Japanese glass beads. Their packaging involves a small printed booklet which narrates the intimate genesis of this work.
