In the composition “On the Beach”, I aimed to evoke a sense of calm and contemplation.
The simple form of the reclining female figures, combined with the subtle tones of antique glass—free from any discoloration—creates an atmosphere of stillness and pause. The addition of LED backlighting brought an extra layer of meaning: during the day, the work appears as an image crafted in the technique of bonded glass; in the evening, it transforms into an ambient light source, subtly illuminating the interior.

The idea behind this lighting piece was inspired by my oil painting “Kneeling Women.” I replaced oil paint with stained glass, using a technique that is perfect for creating luminous, three-dimensional forms. The combination of glass and polished copper results in an effect of exclusive, high-end lighting.

The presented piece is part of the “Space” series. Through the posture of the figure’s body, I wanted to emphasize the process of withdrawal that arises as a result of experienced trauma. Trauma is imprinted in the body—in the muscles—which “remember” either a sudden, emotionally charged event or a slow process leading to emotional disintegration.
