Glass is cold and hard. However, molten glass is hot and soft. It is inorganic, but its fluid movement makes it seem as if it is alive. I can't help but feel that the glass is like something that existed before living things took shape. When I breathe into the glass, it expands smoothly. It is just like watching a time lapse of the growth process of a plant. There is nothing inside the sphere that has expanded in this way. However, there is supposed to be time and the trajectory of the expansion. The structure of this work is the skeleton of the sphere, and at the same time, the trajectory of the sphere as it expands is expressed using the tension of the glass as it expands.
