This artwork features two vibrant green glass sculptures that resemble organic, amorphous shapes. The colors range from a deep, earthy olive to a lighter, more translucent lime hue, creating a visually striking contrast.

The artist likely employed techniques such as glass blowing and sculpting to achieve the fluid, almost liquid-like quality of the pieces. This contemporary work explores themes of natural forms and the interplay between solidity and transparency. ...
