Michael Aram
The collection celebrates the representation of flora as fauna. Michael's fascination with a particular type of ginkgo tree, the Ginkgo Biloba, or "Butterfly Ginkgo", which grows with a double leaf reminiscent of a butterfly's wings, gave rise to a fantasia image of the plant. Executed at the highest level of hand craftsmanship, each piece is rendered in solid brass with hand-etched cocoon-shaped vessels. The pieces in the collection are a tour de force of the handcrafted process, capturing the poetic spirit that is so deeply indicative of Michael's work. "The first time I saw this tree, it looked like it had been completely overtaken by butterflies... as if they would all take flight the moment I walked too close or made a noise. The idea that the leaves could evoke the beauty of butterflies was magical to me, like trees that can metamorphose from flora to fauna in the blink of an eye."

The Astrological series of boxes takes its inspiration from imagery surrounding the belief that the position of the sun, moon, and stars may influence human beings and determine our interaction with the world around us. There is something magical and mystical about our relationship to the cosmos and its potentially profound effect on us. The sign of Gemini is represented by the twins. Flexibility, balance, and adaptability are keywords for this sign. We are physically and mentally quick and are concerned with the close connection between thought and verbal communication. We revel in our individuality and value personal freedom above all else. We are attracted to excitement and change, preferring to go out in search of an adventure than staying home. Gemini (May 22-June 21).

The sign of Cancer is represented by the crab and is characterized by a love of home, family, and domesticity. To Cancers, a strong bond of empathy with another person is far more important than reason or logic. A quiet evening alone with friends is an ideal experience for those born under this sign. With Cancerians, there is always something more than meets the eye. Although Cancer crabs are protective and patient, we are very persistent and persuasive; always driven to accomplish our goals. Cancer (June 21-July 22).

We love variety and new experiences. Because of our energy and stamina, we are often highly prized as partners and coworkers. Libra (September 23-October 22).

The collection is inspired by the liveliness and vitality of the Japanese flower as it blossoms each Spring. Embodying the ideals of renewal, Michael is captivated by the intricate nature of the flower and the symbolism that it holds. Representing fragility and the beauty of life, the Cherry Blossom collection combines soft, muted pink tones with golden brass and white marble to add a delicacy that exhibits the pure beauty of nature. "I have always been fascinated with the Cherry Blossom and its symbolism in the cycle of life. I find the ephemeral beauty of the blossoms and the way they burst into bloom, however fleetingly, truly inspiring."

A box is an object of protection and fascination. Typically, evil eye charms in a house are meant to keep jealousy and bad energy away while protecting all who come to or dwell in the home. This box is a beautiful object on its own, but may also serve as a symbol of protection and safety. "I have always been intrigued by objects as symbols and the inherent power that is transmitted through them. As kids, we had turquoise charms pinned to our clothes to protect us, and there was always something comforting about having a symbol of protection in our home."
