This new work continues earlier themes but shifts focus inward — exploring self-discovery, liberation, and personal growth. Where previous pieces used irony and hybrid forms to critique society, 'Times Gravity" turns to the inner process of letting go and self-acceptance.
Glass, technique, and symbolism are deeply intertwined. Flamework becomes a tool to visualize emotional transformation: cages made of glass fall and break in slow motion, representing the layers of identity we build and the gravity of time pulling them down. The fragility of the material mirrors the vulnerability and strength within that process. The sound of shattering glass—slowed, distorted—loses its urgency and opens up to other meanings - it does not ask what is lost, but what becomes visible when something breaks.
Creating this piece was technically and personally challenging, the act of shaping glass echoed the process — a move from external critique to internal reflection. 'Times Gravity' is a symbolic evolution: from social commentary to the quiet power of personal transformation.
