Luminous Elements

The Luminous Elements Collection extends my exploration of box-like mosaic and mixed-media sculptures, focusing entirely on the expressive possibilities of glass. Each handmade form contains a rhythm of mosaic niches — small reflective spaces filled with glass fragments that absorb, refract, and release light in shifting ways.

This Collection explores luminosity as a material language. Through stained glass, fused glass, glass beads, blown glass, smalti, glass rods, and crushed glass, the works investigate how color and light evoke emotion, reflection, and movement.
