Veins of Air

Exhibition Statement  

This installation gathers experimental glass forms—clear, coloured, solid, and blown—that resemble seeds, pods, and fragile growths. Within them, breath becomes structure, and traces of organic matter are suspended like veins of air. Together, they create a fleeting landscape of nature held in transparency.
