My first glass sculpture, conceived after encountering László Moholy-Nagy’s object Leda and the Swan.
This version is loosely based on the ancient myth of Leda and the Swan. While stylized, the sculpture bypasses dramatic narrative to focus purely on the gesture of the embrace—the exact moment where two distinct bodies draw so close that their boundaries begin to blur.
The choice of glass deepens this concept: a material both solid and fragile, tangible yet optically weightless, allowing light to penetrate the forms and reveal their internal space.
