Balance

This bowl-shaped vessel is composed of clear glass and mirror fragments, intricately woven with cane. Its fractured surface underlines the fragility of existence, while the mirror invites reflection and shifting perspectives. The cane connects outer and inner layers, suggesting a dialogue between what is seen and what lies within. The piece carries its own traces, embodying the challenges of life and the quiet strength of self-awareness.
