Made in heavy, cast clear glass with amber inclusions, the work displays santalahti’s characteristic brutalist and organic expression—sharp ridges, fractured textures, and a volcanic, rising form that captures and refracts light with dramatic depth.

the sculpture is produced in thick, solid glass, giving it significant weight and presence. Its raw, ice-like surface and molten amber core create a dynamic contrast typical of nordic studio glass from the period. A striking collector’s piece suitable for contemporary interiors, design collections, or curated art environments.
