Aeneid Asymmetric Earrings

Aeneid Asymmetric Earrings

Style: 2V01 AE

Lines from Virgil’s Aeneid, carefully cut and meticulously reassembled, are transformed into visual compositions - shapes, figures, abstract forms.

The linear structure of the text is disrupted, and meaning is no longer read but seen. In this act of collage, the ancient converses with the contemporary.

The pair features positive and negative boules, playing with contrast and balance.

Maria Calderara founded her eponymous brand in Venice in 1982, where her production atelier is still based today. Combining a passion for art with a background in architecture, she creates collections of clothing and jewelry defined by conceptual and rigorously structured designs.
