Ruudt is a craftsman and designer who likes to produce a completely new series every year. His talent lies in his ability to combine intelligence with emotion to create an explosively effective mix. This brooch, a matt grey body of Christ sliced in two, tells the story of aloneness, exploring how martyrdom can liberate humankind but in a sense we all die alone. The half bodies seem to desperately embrace one another, a gripping symbol for the understanding that consolation and help can only come from within.
