About Proof of Rain Aýna Sungat Heýkeli

Ýagyş Subutnamasy – ýagyş ýagmagyndan ylham alnan döwrebap aýna heýkeldir. Eser dürli gök reňk öwüşginlerindäki gyzgyn şekillendirilen aýnadan ýasalypdyr. Kontrollenýän syçrama effekti bilen alaw işi arkaly emele gelen kiçijik damjalar ýagyş damjalaryny alamatlandyrýar. Damjalaryň aşagyndaky üflenip ýasalan gök şekil bolsa durmuş tejribeleriniň toplanmasyny beýan edýär. Heýkeliň ölçegleri 380 x 200 x 450 millimetrdir. Ýagyş Subutnamasy statik gurnama görnüşinde görkezilýär, şöhle bolsa aýnanyň çuňlugyny we şöhlelenmelerini aýan edýär. Maksat – tebigaty we ussatlygy bir şekilde birleşdirmekdir.

Production Technology
The piece was created using advanced hot glass shaping techniques, where molten glass was carefully blown into forms with varying shades of blue. The droplets were shaped through flameworking tecnics with a controlled splashing effect, simulating the impact of rain. Precision in temperature control and timing was essential to achieve the desired texture and fluidity in the glass. The final form was carefully constructed to represent both the raindrops and their accumulation, capturing the interplay between craftsmanship and nature.
Design Challenge
The creative challenge in artwork is lay in capturing the delicate essence of rain through glass, balancing artistic expression with technical precision. The difficulty stemmed from the need to replicate the fluid, dynamic nature of raindrops using static material. Overcoming the physical constraints of glassblowing, such as controlling splashing effects and maintaining form integrity, was crucial. Additionally, integrating historical symbolism with contemporary techniques posed a challenge, demanding a deep understanding of both craft and meaning.
Research
The research behind the artwork is an experimental, focusing on the intersection of nature and glass art. The objective was to explore how glass can symbolically represent natural phenomena, specifically rain. The methodology involved trial and error, using hot glass shaping and splashing effects to replicate the fluidity of rain. Data was gathered through observation and adjustments to temperature, pressure, and technique. Insights revealed that blending symbolism with craftsmanship creates deeper emotional resonance. The impact extends to design by pushing the boundaries of traditional glass techniques, encouraging innovation in both artistic and functional contexts.
Inspiration
The inspiration stems from the natural phenomenon of rainfall and its symbolic connection to life and memory. Motivated by the desire to capture the transient beauty of rain, the project explores how water droplets accumulate and shape the landscape. Technically, it combines hot glass shaping techniques with splashing effects, reflecting the intersection of nature and craftsmanship, while also delving into the emotional significance of lived experiences and their accumulation over time.
Project Duration
The project started in 20th of February and finished in April 2025. It exhibited during CI BLOOM, which is a leading art fair in Turkey, İstanbul in 25-28 April 2024
Operation Flow
It operates as a static installation, where viewers interact with the piece visually. The transformation happens through the glass's intricate design, where each droplet and form is carefully shaped to evoke the sensation of rain. The key interaction comes from observing the piece's details and reflections, with the light revealing its depth. Its effectiveness lies in the combination of delicate glasswork and its symbolic representation, offering a powerful emotional connection to nature and life.
