Feed the monster

Traditional techniques of glassblowing tend to obey narrow and rigid rules, structuring the practice around control and
perfectionism. In contrast, I see molten glass as a living material.
By changing my system of beliefs, where flaws are integrated as inputs of value, I aim to create a new set of rules, a
place for fertile chaos, where collapses, cracks, and falls are considered as natural expressions of glass instead of
defaults to eliminate. The unexpected and unplanned play an important role in my practice, allowing serendipity - happy
accidents - to thrive.
With the creation of glass entities, that are part-mineral and part-creature, I intend to give form to one’s intangible inner
dialogue, the monsters we carry within ourselves.
While setting a space for overwhelming thoughts and struggles to exist, I investigate a dark but very common area.
Embracing fragility and doubts as transformative forces is an act of rebellion. By shaping these hybrid bodies through
fire, I create a space of freedom and impulsiveness, transforming anger into flourishing joy. Maintaining this dialogue is
my way of remaining faithful to the space of freedom that carries a deep intimate and political dimension in the act of
creating.
