‘Within’ is a sculptural collection designed to playfully excite and delight your senses. Inspired by a personal experience of losing smell and taste, each piece encourages you to be present, to engage your hands, fingers, tongue, and mouth to intimately consume the food. By savouring each moment, the pieces stimulate sensory exploration, awakening your senses, elevating aroma, taste, and flavour.

Embracing the ethos of mindful eating, ‘Within’ promotes slow, moderate eating, echoing the wisdom of the Japanese philosophy of Hara Hachi Bu; enhancing pleasure and overall wellbeing.

Juliana invites you to pause, indulge in your senses, and reignite your imagination, to forge meaningful connections between you, your food and those sharing the adventure with you.
