Artwork description: The Half is a collection of vases that reinterpret the essence of a shell. By generating volume from a flat surface, the design distills form to its silhouette while exploring the transformation of material. An innovative technique hardens fiberglass fabric into glass without resin, converting a soft, flexible textile into a rigid structure and challenging conventional notions of glass and its behavior. Through the fusion of fabric manipulation and glassmaking processes, each piece acquires a singular identity that embodies the dual qualities of fabric and glass, ultimately celebrating the distinctiveness of its making.
