Shakespeare’s characters of ambiguous Hamlet and controversial Ophelia served as sources of the designer’s inspiration. The entire collection in the form of a stage play addresses the tragic relations of the couple. There are no other characters in the play but three famous persons starring in the show. This is a collection with secretes on the inner side.
