Title of theSeries: DENSITY & DISSEMINATION.

Blown recycled glass spheres with glitter. This work is influenced by some ideas of architect Luis Barragan regarding light & reflection of space, The plated spheres came to Mexico from orient and from Moorish Spain, but Barragan inserted this decorative craft inside his architecture (in the 40’s), and it is said that he referred to them as “spheres for the concentration of the architectural space”.

My idea with this pieces and with using glitter is that it works as plated glass but has a disseminative quality. The glitter adheres to the glass’ surface and works as a mirror, but with the movement, it changes constantly and reminds us of the impermanence and change of all. I am also attracted to mixing two opposite materials such as glass and glitter in a piece.
