About Cassiopeia Statua

Cassiopeia est statua vitrea ex vitro recyclato et vitro industriali reiecto confecta. Ea materia alioquin in aggerem purgamentorum peruenisset, sed pro eo liquefacta est et in nouam formam reformata. Quodque opus vitrum est ore sufflatum in officina, manu formatum. Superficies asperae et naturales aestheticam Scandinavicam et lucem reflectunt. Quaeque tholus vitrea leviter illuminatur, et superficies glaciei similes in unum coeunt, instar instaurationis regionis cuiusdam. Statua centum quinquaginta per quinquaginta per triginta centimetra metitur. Consilium est interpretatio poetica contrarietatis inter materiam recyclatam et materiam pretiosam.
