Glass as a Lucid Forest by Serra Zileli

Light slips through glass the way it moves through a winter forest, quiet, fragile, and alive. I shape and texture the glass to let it catch, bend, and release that light, creating layers that reveal themselves only when you slow down. Suspended in space and activated by spotlights, the forms create a landscape of reflections that is never completely still. The work invites a moment of stillness to stand, to look, and to feel how light gently transforms what we think we see. What you see depends on where you stand and what you are willing to notice.
