About Cassiopeia Sculpture

Cassiopeia est une sculpture en verre réalisée à partir de verre recyclé et de déchets de verre industriels. Cette matière, qui aurait autrement fini en décharge, est ici fondue puis remodelée en une forme nouvelle. Chaque pièce est un verre d'atelier soufflé à la bouche et façonné à la main. Les surfaces brutes et organiques reflètent l'esthétique et la lumière scandinaves. Chaque dôme de verre est légèrement illuminé, et les surfaces évoquant la glace se fondent les unes dans les autres pour former une installation semblable à un paysage. La sculpture mesure 150 sur 50 sur 30 centimètres. L'intention est d'offrir une interprétation poétique du contraste entre matière recyclée et matière précieuse.
