I found this for sale online
"Ready for framing, this stunning work of art will draw gasps of wonder from all who behold it! It is an original design by Jerusalem artist David Fisher in which the laser cut paper results in an incredibly ornate Star of David. It represents the three elements of classical philosophy and the Hebrew caption at the bottom reads Mayim Ruach Eish (Water, Wind, Fire).
David Fisher, born in Jerusalem, is an Israeli graphic designer who has revived the traditional Jewish art form of paper cutting, that goes back to at least the Middle Ages, through utilizing a modern laser cut technology. Together with his expertise in Hebrew typography, the technique of arranging and designing text, these acclaimed works of art are a beautiful portrayal of Jewish blessings, prayers, symbols and decorative motifs."

... Although I suspect that whoever made this emblem doesn't really know what he/she is doing, since in the second word, the first and the third letter look to have suffered from a transpositional error with other, similar looking letters. It looks like דוה, which in this context is nonsense, when it should be רוח.

Not in this context, it doesn't. And I think that the metaphoric meaning is exaggerated and misconstrued from a Western, cultural mindset.

I think in this context it says:
"Would You Like Fries With That?"
