Wild Era Collection Artist Statement
Delara Alviri created the Wild Era collection in November 2020 after witnessing many "wild" personal and political events throughout the offbeat year. After taking the California BAR Exam in October, she immediately began designing and creating the collection as a cathartic means of escape. Putting an emphasis on the "wild nature of life," she brought a new perspective to the design of sunglasses. The final collection includes 50 one-of-a-kind, handmade sunglasses embodying many aquatic and safari animals, butterflies, and crystal piercings in hopes of seeing brighter years to come.
