Many artists turn to mythological themes in their work. Here, you see a contemporary interpretation of Undine, reimagined through the artist’s vision. Bathed in moonlight, the feminine figure enchants men with her beauty and song—yet those who succumb to her charm become entangled in her flowing hair and perish. The artist delicately conveys the fragility of human relationships through quartz plates, etched with the entwined bodies of lovers in the intricate technique of intaglio. On the reverse side, the body of a man is shown falling into the depths, consumed by love for this mysterious woman. This image is rendered in monochrome enamel painting, capturing the drama and allure of the myth.

The story of a family who waited many years for the birth of their first child. This brooch became their heirloom — a cherished symbol of hope and love. What you see here is the artist’s personal recreation; the original remains with the family. What did the artist hope to convey through this work? A human heart, delicately formed by two birds, nestled closely in a quiet embrace. They coo softly, almost imperceptibly, about the coming of new life — a message not heard, but perhaps read in the finest feathers of the doves. On the reverse side lies a different story — one of endurance and struggle. Rose branches with thorns fill the inner space like arteries, pulsing with the lifeblood of existence, reminding us that every precious moment is born through both tenderness and trial.
