The Sake Cup That Swallows the Cosmos — Birth

A concept born from the image of swallowing the cosmos into one's body. Its form evokes the universe born from the Big Bang. The translucent cosmos glows a pale blue when set against a black background. The base of the vessel shows a metallic blue gradient brought up by the reduction flame. Imagine taking the universe whole into your own body.

In this work, the trace lines that appear when glass is layered and wound from the furnace can be seen running through it like lines.
The color is achieved by vaporizing and fusing a special metal — a technique that appears in nearly all of this artist's space-themed works.
I hope you can enjoy this as both a phenomenon of glass and a phenomenon of the universe.
