My work focuses on nature using flameworked borosilicate glass to create small worlds and immersive experiences for the viewer to get lost in. Make something that should eventually decompose, eternal. These worlds are inspired by the adaptations that some plants have made to survive in this world such as becoming poisonous to humans like these flowers.
