The work consists of a glass head seeming to
hover over the glass surface.
The head is made of fragments that on a frontal
look seem to wipe the details of the face. Only on a close look from the side,
does the pro le reveal its beautiful details.

Phoenix, the human ability to reinvent one self, is an inspiration to this
series.
