Tetiana Chorna
Designer biography:
Tetiana Chorna is a contemporary jewelry artist from Ukraine exploring themes of memory, faith, and resilience. She combines silver with natural elements like shells and ancient nails, creating pieces that transcend time and space. Inspired by the echoes of war, her collections *“Fishes Beyond Time and Space”* and *“Dreams and Shadows”* embody silence, strength, and hope. With a focus on narrative and texture, her jewelry becomes a symbolic artifact rather than just an accessory. A multiple-time participant of *ROJW*, *Munich Jewellery Week*, and *Handwerk & Design*, she continues to shape stories through jewelry.
Collection concept: Fish Beyond Space and Time
One day, I let my thoughts drift and caught the image of a fish—elusive yet ever-present, revealing deeper meanings of existence. A symbol of sacred silence, it carries hidden truths, like those near the philosopher’s stone. Amid war, the fish became a sign of resilient faith. Two rusted nails formed its shape—the Christian symbol of suffering and hope. Rust marks time, metal reflects the universe, and the fish embodies infinity. Forged from pain yet strong in spirit, it reminds us that faith endures, carrying history and life forward.
