The figure becomes both body and vessel, shaped in glass and ice. The work reflects on fragility, beauty, and the subtle tension between being admired and being consumed.
3 separate tools used to create the image.
Inspiration & Process
This piece started with a simple idea: turning a familiar object, the martini glass, into a figure. I was drawn to how the glass represents both celebration and fragility. As I worked, the image became less about the object and more about posture, weight, and mood. The pose was refined slowly to feel calm, grounded, and present rather than playful or exaggerated.
Challenges
The biggest challenge was keeping the figure feeling human while using glass and ice, which can easily feel cold or perfect. Small adjustments to the pose, balance, and melting details helped bring warmth and vulnerability into the final piece.
