“There is something about glass that captures the essence of our time: it shows and distorts, reveals and misleads. It is not honest, yet it does not lie either, forcing you to question what you thought you saw. Through its quiet contradictions, glass can be both razor-sharp and almost unbearably fragile. It is like us humans: transparent, sensitive and yet more resilient than we believe.”
