«RISE FROM THE ABYSS» IS PART OF AN ONGOING ARTISTIC PROCESS THAT INVOLVES THE USE OF RAW ORGANIC ELEMENTS AS A TRIGGER FOR A NEW FORM OF EXPRESSION. AN ACCUMULATION OF ROCKS OVERLAPPED IN AN ALEATORY MANNER IS USED AS A MOULD FOR THE MOLTEN GLASS.

IN A SEARCH FOR PURITY AND SENSITIVITY, THE GLASS FREELY TAKES SHAPE IN CONTACT WITH THE STONES AND SLOWLY TAKES ITS IMPRINT.

ONLY A FRAGMENT OF THE STONE MOLD REMAINS IN THE FINAL PIECE AS A WITNESS OF THIS MEETING BETWEEN THESE TWO ELEMENTS.

THE SHAPES OF THE MOLTEN GLASS FREELY UNFOLD IN THE SPACE BEYOND THE HAND OF THE CRAFTSMAN AND THE EYE OF THE DESIGNER.

LIKE A WILD LANDSCAPE: THE MATERIAL LIVES AND EVOLVES ACCORDING TO ITS ENVIRONMENT.
