Nature inspired cast glass vase or hurricane.
The delicate pate-de-verre technique was used to cast this hand-sculpted work of art in the kiln, capturing the natural beauty and hypnotic details of tree bark texture.
At the intersection between personal biography and the collective memory of her Mediterranean heritage, Felekşan Onar discovered in glass – a timeless vocabulary – a primary language to articulate ideas around unfinished identities, the construction of narratives across long time spans, complex historical connections and the relationship between politics and society in the contemporary world. A life split between seas of traders, from her Aegean home town of Söke to the both ancient and modern city of Istanbul, bathed by the Bosphorus Strait, the Marmara and Black Seas, glass has become more than a material for Onar – it is a living history, replete with cultural and social references embedded in the simultaneous translucency and opacity of deep time. -
