The Design

About Cassiopeia Arca

Cassiopeia ialah arca kaca yang dihasilkan daripada kaca kitar semula dan sisa kaca industri. Bahan ini sepatutnya berakhir di tapak pelupusan sampah, namun sebaliknya dilebur dan dibentuk semula menjadi bentuk yang baharu. Setiap kepingan adalah kaca studio yang ditiup secara mulut dan dibentuk dengan tangan. Permukaan yang kasar dan organik mencerminkan estetika serta cahaya gaya Skandinavia. Setiap kubah kaca disinari cahaya secara halus, dan permukaan seakan ais ini bercantum membentuk sebuah pemasangan seni yang menyerupai lanskap. Arca ini berukuran 150 kali 50 kali 30 sentimeter. Tujuannya adalah untuk memberikan tafsiran puitis terhadap kontras antara bahan kitar semula dengan bahan yang bernilai.
