Statement

Through my research I’m looking for the union and balance of elements such strength and fragility playing with the whimsical nature of glass combined with strong materials such metals and stones.
For the Prigioni Collection I wanted to redesign the act of exposing flowers, considering water, branches, blooming, petals and leaves loss together with projected shadows, part of the final aesthetic of the finished work.
