The Design

About Cassiopeia Kiparstvo

Kasiopeja je steklena skulptura, izdelana iz recikliranega in industrijskega odpadnega stekla. Material bi sicer končal na odlagališču, tukaj pa je stopljen in preoblikovan v novo obliko. Vsak kos je ročno pihano studijsko steklo, oblikovano z rokami. Grobe in organske površine odsevajo skandinavsko estetiko in svetlobo. Vsaka steklena kupola je rahlo osvetljena, ledu podobne površine pa se zlivajo skupaj v instalacijo, ki spominja na pokrajino. Skulptura meri 150 krat 50 krat 30 centimetrov. Namen dela je poetična interpretacija kontrasta med recikliranim in dragocenim materialom.
