The Design

About Cassiopeia Skulptur

Cassiopeia ist eine Glasskulptur aus recyceltem Glas und industriellem Glasabfall. Das Material würde andernfalls auf der Mülldeponie landen; stattdessen wird es eingeschmolzen und in eine neue Form gebracht. Jedes Element ist mundgeblasenes Studioglas, von Hand geformt. Raue und organische Oberflächen spiegeln die skandinavische Ästhetik und das nordische Licht wider. Jede Glaskuppel ist sanft beleuchtet, und die eisartigen Oberflächen verschmelzen zu einer landschaftsähnlichen Installation. Die Skulptur misst 150 mal 50 mal 30 Zentimeter. Die Absicht ist eine poetische Interpretation des Kontrasts zwischen recyceltem und wertvollem Material.
