I revisited and reworked a piece from 2015 to more forcefully apply digital mappings of bobbin-lace form-building strategies and, by reducing the symbol system, to ensure that every line carries concept-bearing meaning. The work honors women—working women as distinctive cornerstones of society. By adopting the traditional feminine craft language of lace-making, I rendered motifs tied to women inventors. This simultaneously foregrounds the importance of women’s intellectual work and the modern zeitgeist’s openness that enabled women to contribute life-improving inventions.

Core motifs come from women-related inventions, complemented by female-associated ornament in Hungarian folk art—such as symbols of fertility and immortality. The double-line construction reflects the spatiality of lace. The result is a poster-scale work merging illustrative and infographic elements, technically reconciling traditional and contemporary image-making. It reveals both historical traditions of women’s self-expression and contemporary avenues of achievement—celebrating creators whose dedicated, high-quality intellectual labor contributes to a form of “immortality.”
