Rebels

Hand-blown glass, 38 x 30 cm

Rebels is a series about rediscovering the fearless playfulness of youth. As we grow older, we unlearn spontaneity, boldness, and the joy of doing things just because we can. These glass sculptures capture both the nostalgia of that loss and the spark that still lives within us. Through color, form, and reflection, they invite you to take life a little less seriously: to play, to dare, to simply be.
