Brooch collection FRAGMENTA / “fragments“. It is based on the rhymes of ancient elements and harmonies from the fragmentarily preserved ancient Greek poetry. Fragments of poems are engraved on fragments of transparent stones to embody the feelings, moods, ideas and secrets as a distant starlight that continues to charge our souls several millennia later. The collection is presented in the form of an installation, where each brooch is like a touch-sensitive object for any movement and air flow. As a carrier of light that seems to create a projection on the reality of the new age.
