Miss Universe

A woman cradles the moon—both as a dream and as a word—reminding us that wonder is always within reach. we don’t have to travel far to feel connected to the universe; it lives quietly, right where we are. A falling star crosses the scene, carrying a simple promise: every time you see it, you may make a wish. This artwork brings imagination and a touch of magic into your everyday space.

Gampi paper from the Philippines with mother-of-pearl pieces is a handmade decorative paper made from natural plant fibers, often salago or abacá, combined with recycled shell waste.

The shimmering fragments come from capiz shells (Placuna placenta), a byproduct of shell-processing industries. Instead of being discarded, these pieces are embedded into the paper, creating a subtle pearlescent sparkle.

The result is a strong, slightly translucent paper with a soft texture and a natural, elegant look. Each sheet is unique and reflects a sustainable, circular process that combines traditional papermaking with upcycled marine materials.
