When I create, I do not have the intention of making something beautiful in form. Instead, I experience the emergence of shapes by directly engaging with the material. Soft glass flows under the influence of gravity, changing its form as it cools. Even when I try to manipulate it, it moves unexpectedly and continues to transform. I want to express the airiness and warmth that the transparent glass possesses while feeling its weight.
