Siren | Glass sculpture

Siren was crafted using kiln-casting and coldworking techniques to achieve its wave-like form. Sandblasting was applied across the contour of the piece to accentuate the interplay of light and shadow.

The process of creating Siren began with a fine art plasticine prototype, which I encased in a kiln-resistant plaster mold. Once the mold set, I carefully removed the prototype and filled the hollow cavity with glass.

To achieve the internal vertical pattern, I calculated the shape and volume of two separate glass forms and treated the surfaces where they would meet. When fired together over a two-week kiln cycle, the heat fused the forms and made the ethereal, flowing shape emerge and become permanent. 

Creating Siren took approximately three months, from the initial concept to the final polish. Each phase—designing, casting, firing, and finishing—required careful planning and attention to detail to bring the sculpture’s ethereal effect to life.
