118 Process

The 118 series explores the inherent ability of glass to retain shapes from its molten state. The delicate, feather-like forms within each glass sphere arise from this characteristic, capturing the transient impressions made during the blowing process.

When illuminated from within, these subtle forms become more pronounced, revealing intricate details that evoke natural motifs such as a bird’s wing or a blooming flower. This interplay of light and form highlights the series' sophisticated understanding of the material properties of glass and its capacity to preserve ephemeral shapes.
