It also touches upon the relation of man and nature, providing its immediate reflection on multiple layers of meaning. The narrative of the overall concept and site-specific installation of the unique glass artworks revolves around a journey; around seeking our path in the world of today. The realization of the Venice project will be a world premiere of the unique technology of glass melting in global context, allowing the creation of a glass sculpture without any limitations.
