Artwork description: For me as a sculptor, glass is incredibly interesting. It offers a different way of thinking about form, thanks to its optical properties, it lends itself to the spatial expression of emotions.

Artwork description long: The Dotek series explored the possibilities of sculptural dialogue and was a kind of spatial poetics. The entire series consisted of several sculptures, and each one in addition to a certain inner essence. Expressed its character through architecture as well as hidden figures and physicality. Each sculpture had its own specific principle for how to deal with gravity in terms of material. In the installation, they formed a kind of urbanism. Part of this series was also a sculpture Temple. It depicts the floor plan of a cathedral while also concealing a certain figurative quality. A head, or a cathedral, but also an engine. For the sculpture, I chose uranium glass, which for me symbolizes a kind of propulsion or energy. I used the surface of the molten sculpture as a direct cut, serving it as the architectural floor plan in the front of the object. This cut offers a view inside the glass sculpture while simultaneously creating a dialogue outside. I consider not only the shape to be crucial, but also the process of creating this sculpture. It took more than a year. I did most of the work such as the molds, clay and wax models which were also part of my thesis. I also received a lot of help from the Kolodium Glass workshop, where we created a mold for melting the glass and then spent a whole month melting it. It didn’t actually work out on the first try. The process and the time spent working with glass can sometimes be grueling, but that makes it all joyful.
