About Cassiopeia Escultura

Cassiopeia é unha escultura de vidro feita a partir de vidro reciclado e residuos industriais de vidro. Este material, que doutro xeito acabaría nun vertedoiro, é fundido e transformado nunha nova forma. Cada peza é vidro soprado á boca en estudio, moldeado a man. As superficies rugosas e orgánicas reflicten a estética escandinava e a luz. Cada cúpula de vidro está lixeiramente iluminada, e as superficies xeadas fúndense entre si creando unha instalación semellante a unha paisaxe. A escultura mide 150 por 50 por 30 centímetros. A intención é ofrecer unha interpretación poética do contraste entre o material reciclado e o material valioso.
