Wraf jewelry series by Bety K. Majernikova:

“In this series I try to reflect the omnipresent “war” of today’s women with the world surrounding them. On one hand I criticize that nowadays society expects from women unrealistic results in many aspects. On the other hand I also aim criticism at women, because they themselves put up with these unrealistic criteria and strive to comply with them.”

Voodoo set by Simona Janisova:

“Voodoo set is a small series of porcelain trophies – a vase, lighting object (doe) and a hanger (trophy). The Vase – Human faced doe is a plunder gentle wounded by an arrows- which are in fact flowers, inserted truth wounds in her body. The Hanger (trophy) – Head of the doe hung on the wall helps to let your currently not worn jewelry be still on view. It’s simple, just put your necklaces on a neck of the doe. All products are inspired by hunting theme, which is symbolic for human relationships. Especially in those where somebody plays the role of a hunter and someone the role of a victim.”
