Sandra is known for her morphing designs, art, collectible objects and bold interior design. With her fascination for nature, she creates collectibles telling stories. Her story and that of humans and human nature.
The collectibles by Sandra range from glass vessels to tapestry, a mesmerizing pendant where glass and textile is brought to life in an enchanting mix and her wall coverings. They all appear to be morphing or on the move.
