CASCADE
Unlike other materials, glass shines best when left to be the living and breathing material that it naturally is. In its molten state, glass pools and flows just like a flowing stream.
CASCADE captures a slice of a flowing river and brings the beauty of nature into daily lives while still retaining its movement.

A day is made up of thousands and thousands of overlapping moments. However, we live in an era of rapid change. We are less and less able to look at the moments that are surely being carved out of our lives.
To stop and look at the moment. Isn’t it important to pay attention to what is happening right under our feet? This question led to the creation of the “Moment Capture” project, which I have been working on since 2013 with WonderGlass.
The series ‘MOMENT’ has the meaning of ‘capturing the moment’. CASCADE captures the flow of a passing river, MOMENTO captures the moment of falling rainwater, depicts a moment in time, and FLOW[T], which captures the horizon that stretches to the border between the sea and the ground we live on.

All works are based on the motif of water. Andthey are made by a skilled glassblower who has a workshop in Venice, a city surrounded by water where you can feel the ever-changing nature on your skin every day.
Glass, a living material, will break if you don’t know it well, listen to it and follow the natural flow of the material itself. The process of “no man can do it on his own” is the reason why the glass is made by hand.
I want to become part of the cogs in an industry that moves at great speed, to make myself involved in making things put on the brakes, and to project onto the newly visible landscape the kind of craftsmanship that is required nowadays. I also want the people who see the work to stop and feel the moment on their skin.
