The work depicts a classical column as a symbol of academic tradition, structure, and artistic growth. Reflecting the architectural language of temples and academies, the column consists of three parts: the base (innate potential), the shaft (artistic journey), and the capital (culmination of learning).
Installed in a historic academic setting, the piece responds to its surroundings - a space framed by classical reproductions and an arched window. The vivid color palette reflects the individuality and creative energy of the students.
A tribute to tradition and transformation — this piece captures the spirit of the Academy in light and glass.
Created in harmony with the Academy’s architecture — one glass piece at a time.
A collection of individually crafted glass pieces was carefully chosen and complemented with custom-poured panels to achieve the desired range of tones, including deep ambers, soft grays, and cobalt blues. The work incorporated both lead came and copper foil techniques, along with fired-in enamel to create subtle painted details. Every effort was made to preserve the integrity of the materials while enhancing their vibrancy under shifting natural light throughout the day.
