Serpent Heart Coffee Cup

A dance of symbols from myth and sky—serpents for transformation, stars for guidance, a crying heart for love and longing, and the sun as a source of clarity and life.

Merging symbols from mythologies, the design evokes meanings and invites interpretations. Each element—serpents, stars, the sun, and the crying heart—tells a story, creating a piece that feels personal.

In Egyptian mythology, the serpent represents protection and regeneration; in Greek thought, it appears in the ouroboros, a snake eating its own tail, symbolizing infinity and the nature of life.

Crying heart eyes speak to the duality of emotion—love and sorrow, insight and vulnerability.

Scattered around the plate, stars represent guidance, hope, and the unknown. In many cultures, stars were used for navigation—both literal and spiritual. They remind us to seek light, direction, and perspective beyond what’s immediate.

The sun anchors the composition, a symbol of life, clarity, and power. Worshipped across civilizations—from Ra in Egypt to Helios in Greece to Inti in the Incan empire—the sun is the giver of energy and the keeper of time, a reminder of our place in the cosmic order
