Odette

Audrey Hepburn, takes centre stage in Rivans’ latest original pin-up. The collage has been built on a beautiful black embossed paper with a headdress brimming with symbolism whispering tales of confidence, determination and love.

Odette is the lead swan from the iconic ballet, Swan Lake. The very embodiment of strength and grace, reminding us that within every soul resides the potential for boundless love. The neon swan sign gleams brightly on top of a crane, a beacon of the profound symbolism these creatures hold. Swans, revered by the goddess of love herself, Aphrodite, stand as symbols of grace and beauty. A diver gracefully executes a swan dive, mirroring the beautiful arcs of our swan's flight, and symbolising the bold leaps we sometimes need to take to follow our true path. It's a reminder that within us lies the courage to leap into the unknown and embrace our inner strength.

Within the lush foliage of this collage, a half-built structure emerges, an emblem of the positive changes we can bring into our lives. As we embark on the journey of personal transformation, we become the architects of our destinies. And when we dare to dream and work towards our aspirations, the universe sometimes responds with the gift of golden opportunities, as symbolised by the coins descending from the heavens, showering us with the rewards of our endeavours.

Just as the lead swan in Swan Lake, Odette epitomises the strength and elegance within us all, reminding us that our personal odyssey can be as captivating as the most enchanting ballet.
