The work utilizes the iconic sommerso technique, which involves layering different colors of glass to create a submerged, multidimensional effect. As seen in the primary image, the piece features a vibrant core of deep cobalt blue encased within a brilliant turquoise base, all finished with a clear glass outer layer that enhances the refraction of light. The sculptural form is exceptionally elegant, characterized by two sweeping, upward-reaching arms that give the vessel a dynamic, horn-like silhouette. This soaring verticality is balanced by a weighted, faceted base that provides stability and showcases the intricate color transitions of the thick-walled glass.
