ΕΛΕΥΘΕΡΙΑ

Kolekcijas ΕΛΕΥΘΕΡΙΑ / “Brīvība” pamatā ir spēles un spontanitātes ideja, kas cieši saistīta ar brīvības jēdzienu. Rotas kā pasaules okeāna krastā izskaloti caurspīdīgi akmeņi un ūdens nopulēti stikli, kur katrs nes vēstījumu, savu slepeno “ūdens zīmi”, ar seno autoru citātiem, kas atgādina par brīvību, augstu lidojumu, nezūdošu gaismu. Saskaņā ar vienu no versijām, sengrieķu ἐλευθερία (eleutheria) etimoloģiski ir saistīta ar izteicienu “iet tur, kur vēlaties”. Dabīgo akmeņu un akrila stikla kombinācija un līdzsvara meklējumi dizainā, iesaista skatītāju un rotas nēsātāju pastāvīgu formu, krāsu un ideju kombināciju meklējumu spēlē — viņu pašu brīvības jēdziena formulēšanā. Pateicoties minimālai metāla izmantošanai, akmeņu dabisko formu aprises un skaistums tiek saglabāts, vizuālā līmenī tulkojot brīvības un atvērtības jēdzienus.
Materiāli: topāzi, kvarci, akvamarīni, akrila stikls, sudrabs, apzeltīts sudrabs.

ΕΛΕΥΘΕΡΙΑ / Freedom

Each ring in this collection is like an ancient message from the Golden Age of Europe polished by the ocean itself. They are like accidentally found stones with their own secret “watermark” — an engraved quotation by Ancient Greek authors that reminds us about such important and eternal things as freedom, peace and everlasting light. The stones are the main expressive element of the jewelry. Thanks to the special construction of the rings that keeps the silhouette and the natural beauty of the stones, transmitting the ideas of freedom and entirety even on the visual level.

αὐτίκ᾽ ἀπ᾽ Ὠκεανοῦ χρυσόθρονον ἠριγένειαν ὦρσεν, ἵν᾽ ἀνθρώποισι φόως φέροι / straightway she roused from Oceanus golden-throned Dawn to bring light to men (Homer)

’Ελευθερία Διὸς ὄλβιον τέκος / Oh, freedom, the happy daughter of Zeus (Sofocle fr. 927 B LJ)
