From her earliest days, she endured the tragedy of losing her mother immediately after her birth and subsequently suffered enslavement and mistreatment at the hands of a step-mother. Her later life was defined by profound personal sacrifice and principled choices: she faced the refusal of the Catholic Church to marry her to Dr. José Rizal, due to his writings against the colonial oppression of Filipinos—a stand that ignited a national uprising. She endured the heartbreak of losing an unborn child, and ultimately found herself marrying Rizal just hours before his execution by firing squad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eDespite this legacy of sorrow, Josephine Bracken remained steadfast in her humanity.

At its centre is a triangular fire opal representing the passion, purpose, and the burning inner flame of conviction that sustained Josephine Bracken throughout her trials.

The creation of this masterpiece required immense dedication, taking \u003cb\u003e30 different design try outs\u003c\/b\u003e just to finalize the execution and carefully curate all the gemstones. The work is constructed using fine UK manufactured copper wire, authentic Fergusons Irish Linen, sumptuous French satin from Pongees from London, gold bullion sourced from Hand \u0026amp; Lock—the historic Royal Warrant-holding embroidery house—and 18 ct gold beads. It is richly adorned with a curated composition of natural gemstones including amazonite, amethyst, black diamond, carnelian, strawberry quartz, emerald, fluorite, freshwater pearl, hessonite, lapis lazuli, larimar, opal, peridot, ruby, sapphire, turquoise, and white quartz, each selected for its symbolic resonance and visual depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eThe piece stands as a solemn tribute to Marie 'Josephine' Leopoldine Bracken, who was born on August 9, 1876, during British Hong Kong. This foundational setting holds immense historical significance, and recognizing her birth during this specific era serves as a crucial point of respect and recognition for the history that shaped her early life. The artwork honours her bravery in treating the injured and supporting the Philippine struggle for independence. The artist’s intention is for this unique work to serve not only as a high jewellery object but also as a cultural statement advocating for Josephine Bracken to be formally recognised and taught in schools as a heroine of the Philippines, reflecting her Irish and United Kingdom lineage, her identity now of the modern times as a Hong Konger, her role as a heroine of the Philippines, and her status as an adopted daughter of the United States of America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan role=\"text\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMedium\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eUK wire, Fergusons Irish Linen, French satin, gold bullion (Hand \u0026amp; Lock), 18 ct gold beads, white sequins, seventeen (17) different natural real gemstones sourced from Gemmologists, and a Master Gemstone Cutter all from United Kingdom. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"WordSection1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-left: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto;\" class=\"MsoListParagraph\"\u003e \u003cspan role=\"text\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGemstones (17)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003col style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmazonite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmethyst\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack Diamond\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarnelian\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrawberry Quartz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmerald\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFluorite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFreshwater Pearl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHessonite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLapis Lazuli\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarimar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeridot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRuby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSapphire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTurquoise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhite Quartz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan role=\"text\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eUnique wearable sculptural hair ornament (one-of-a-kind)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan role=\"text\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProvenance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003ePrivate studio collection\u003cbr\u003eHandcrafted by Lili Marjorie H.

Suspended just above these deep-rooted aquatic currents sits a single, expansive piece of woven copper mesh, sculpted to mimic the geometric, columnar basalt formations of Ireland’s Giant’s Causeway. This solitary metallic earthwork honors Dr. José Rizal’s wife, Josephine Bracken, whose Irish parents were both born in Northern Ireland. The warm, continuous copper structure creates a striking, grounded contrast against the cool fluid background, symbolizing Josephine’s international journey across continents to the heart of the archipelago.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eResting atop this copper basalt foundation are three iridescent Philippine Capiz shells of equal size gilted in shimmering 24-karat gold leaf, serving as ethereal silhouettes for a family portrait history forgot to record. Each shell represents a member of the family unit: Rizal, Josephine, and their infant son, Francisco, who lived for only two fleeting hours. The golden trio is embellished with vibrant emeralds representing the green landscapes of Ireland, alongside lustrous South Sea pearls—precious heirlooms passed down from the late mother of the artist—to proudly symbolize the rich heritage of the Philippines. By bringing these elements together on a single foundation, the artwork bridges two distant islands to form a breathtaking visual testament reflecting that, despite the brevity of time, they were indeed a true and complete family.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan role=\"text\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work is an artistic interpretation and should not be regarded as a historical portrait.
