 For Elena  a bag is a shell.  A shell is usually perceived as a hard and rigid boundary between exterior and interior, public and private but a handbag represents a different kind of shell:    A Malleable Shell.  

Elena Vandelli Stavropoulou, is a Greek Italian architect, specialized in bioclimatic architecture and sustainable design.
