The father of psychoanalysis was interested in looking at the origins of human behavior through the prism of sexual drives. His process of using what he called “the talking cure” helped people to admit the truth about themselves and heal psychological wounds. His body of work remains both influential and controversial a century later. The Freud Limited Edition is an absolutely stunning and unique writing instrument. The abalone cap is exposed through a sterling silver overlay, which reflects the dendrite tree of a neuron. The clip has a unique shape and inlay comprised of sterling silver and bronze. At the top of the cap is a coin with an image of the union of man and woman. The finely detailed hand-painted montage on the abalone barrel, reflect many of the aspects of Freud’s “The Interpretation of Dreams”. The young girl with her arms resting on the moon is symbolic of dreams. The image of the baby in the foreground is a metaphor for a human’s sexual awakening. From an actual statue in Greece, stands the man with wings, better known as Eros, the God of Love. A nude woman posed as the Statue of Liberty is a figurative representation of the sexual undertones affecting society. A train coming out of the tunnel depicts Freud’s classic sexuality dream sequence. The Fountain pen is enhanced with an 18kt gold nib.
