Wings

There is more to the humble bird in Aida Bergsen’s philosophical and creative ethos: “A  black bird lifting off from the mountain of the mind rapidly dives deep, as if severing the  surface of the water. A moment later, it rises back into the sky with earthly treasures – daystars, pearls and corals – in its wet talons. If it were to grasp a little tighter, the ore  would turn to dust, and if it were to loosen its grip, it wouldn’t be able to hold on to the  weight of the centuries. The bird knows both its power and its limits: however, it can never  predict the weight of its load. It brings this to its nest at the top of the mountain and hides it  beneath its wings for a century. One morning, the treasures crack open and new offspring  rise up from the nest. There is only a bird’s flight distance between the known and the  unknown.” Aida Bergsen’s bird pendants, rings and earrings encapsulate the magic of her  creativity, and are priceless treasures in themselves.
