EVERSIUM

Eversium, a loose variation on the Latin term eversio, harbors several semantic clues pointing to the concepts of overthrow, destruction, extinction, or revolution. Extinction is a very important phenomenon in terms of the global perspective of geological time because it opens up the possibility of new species expansions. Some variations of extinction have occurred continuously in the history of the Earth, while those changing global conditions have occurred about thirty times during the evolution of life. One evolutionary theory is based on the hypothesis that if an asteroid of gigantic proportions had not struck the Earth in the Mesozoic, we mammals would not have had the opportunity to evolve because the biosphere at that time was dominated by lizards. From a geological point of view, not much time has passed since then, although the climate on our planet has begun to change radically. However, the reason for this change is not external intervention from outer space, or unnatural climate change, but the result of the overpopulation of a certain class of mammals — humans.

NAVA BLUE

NAVA's structural glass vases respond to the disruption of ecosystem balance by invasive species. The objects are blown into three-piece ceramic moulds and the ejichstructures are embossed using an iris technique.

CHRONO

Glass clocks react to their environment by oxidizing their surface. Together with the rapidly changing climate around us, the surface of the object registers changes that are gradually inscribed in its structure. The clock shows the time remaining for our civilisation before we cross the "tipping point" by disturbing the natural environment, leading to the uninhabitability of our planet and the massive extinction of the species. So far aestheticising elements such as polished mirrors or cast glass represent irreparable damage to the natural environment caused by our seemingly untouchable civilisation.

HELOS

Glass vases processed by experimental technique. The aesthetics are reminiscent of melting icebergs floating in a metaphorically black ocean.

LAVA

The red LAVA vases are a combination of two layers of glass and copper wire. It is the flowing through the sculpted wire that gives the shape that dynamic look. The LAVA vases are based on the eventuality of extinction caused by a natural disaster. The appearance of the object springs from a volcanic eruption, referring to the folly of the inhabitants of the city of Pompeii, who unwisely built near the volcano.

KAIRO

The fossilized "fossils" on the ovoid shapes are supposed to represent unidentifiable artifacts of those lost Civilizations extinguished by the sudden change associated with the loss of their natural environment. I have deliberately generalized the shape as much as possible to a pebble worn by time and added to it the aforementioned "fossilized" structures that preserved an already quite obscure long lost epoch.

TRITO

Glass opaline vases with distinctive bubbles remind with their shapes and dynamics the waves of the seas and oceans. The foamy surface of the vases alludes to the dead zones in the world's oceans caused by unregulated chemical waste discharges. Along the lengths of affected beaches, extensive foam formations are forming, making life impossible.

RUTA

Black vases with packed shards abstractly depict the detail of the landscape. The technique of "iris" and its local application represents a defacement and loss of natural harmony.
