ARTISTS / Mio Kosaka

Mio Kosaka believes that the interesting thing about glass is the difference between what you see, what you can see, and what you want to see. Inspired by “wrapping” behaviour in Japanese culture and aesthetics, Mio hopes to create works full of tenderness that can include different ideas. Dedicated streams of bubbles are trapped inside the glass, creating beautiful patterns. Countless bubbles in the glass ripples, and regular streamlined aesthetics will change through different perspectives, showing ingenious craftsmanship.
