| Biviel Design | Biviel Shoe BV2773 | Feeling: texture and line create a sense of elegance and beauty. | |
| Sculptor: Canova, Antonio | Three Graces | The female human form is beautiful, graceful, ideal. | Quiet repose and sisterly love. The piece exudes a quiet elegance and peacefulness amidst the complex three-dimensional composition. The inclusion of "sisterly love" is less certain, except that taking into account the mythological background of the piece. It can be argued that one should not take that into account, so perhaps that should not formally be included in the theme. |

Pure joy of movement and femininity. |

| Schaefer, Taf Lebel | Octopus | Playful. | |
| Director: Reiner, Rob | A Few Good Men | Justice should be fought for, needs to be fought for and can be fragile. |
Commitment to a moral code is central to a good man's life. |
| Rodin, Auguste | Shade, The | Life is a gruesome trial. There is no hope. | The world destroys man. (Some unknown evil force is destroying this young strong man.) Given that the sculpture is titled as a "Shade" and is related to the Group sculpture "Gates of Hell", one can presume the evil is some unnamed condition that can overpower life and cause destruction of the good. |
