Shifted Form [Glass]
Shifted Glass is my latest experiment in blending tradition with a twist of unpredictability. Inspired by my earlier project, ‘Shifted Form [Ceramic]’, I used a modular plaster mold to shake up the usual glassblowing process, letting each piece take on its own unique form.
A creative twist on traditional mass production
This project is about finding beauty in variation and showing that even in a world of mass production, there’s always room for something one-of-a-kind.

Material of choice - Glass
I chose glass for its versatility and ability to capture both light and color in striking ways - qualities that ceramics can’t quite replicate.
I selected bold, complementary colors to make each object stand out, while still feeling part of a cohesive group.
The finishes range from glossy, light-catching surfaces to matte areas created with sandblasting, adding another layer of contrast and tactile interest.
