the blown glass face features a slightly textured surface with a watery green hue, penetrated by light that enhances its transparency and depth.
a distinctive element of the work is the presence of openings at the eyes and mouth, transforming the face into an open structure, creating a direct dialogue between interior and exterior and accentuating the relationship between fullness and emptiness.
from the top, "hair" emerges, made of metal threads embedded in the glass and then colored by hand, introducing a dynamic and energetic, almost radiant dimension.
a blue glass element is applied to the center of the forehead, while the sculpture is supported by an oxidized metal structure with a simple, sculptural design.
a work that combines technique and concept: the interplay of voids, metal inclusions, and light transforms the face into a symbolic and dynamic presence, capable of dialoguing with the surrounding space. Measures 62 x 27 cm.
