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.”

“Danish-born Maria Rubinke‘s small porcelain figures are reminiscent of the illogical compositions of surrealism, transforming the character of what are traditionally charming and passive objects into expressions of more taboo feelings that oscillate between desire and sadism.”
