Glass Tower 50, 2014 is constructed of fifty glass panels. The slabs of glass are roughly cut on their edges allowing spaces between the layers enabling light and air to enter the work. This design gives it a sense of weightlessness, as a counter point to its monumentality. This project was drafted in late 2013 and originated as a box-on-box sculpture made using varying colored glass blocks, set atop each other with slight inconsistencies. The project reached a point of impasse later that year when the structural integrity of the sculpture could not be ensured – no glass maker could realize the project. Edits were made to the width of the piece to accommodate for this specific choice of glass, and the color layering was done intuitively. These scale changes ultimately transformed the original box-on-box arrangement to a sculpture that mimics the screening-affect of an Indian jali without perforations. The viewer experience is humbling given the monumentality of the work, yet inspiring with the translucence of the grey glass panels. This project acts like a screen through which the viewer looks at the sky and surrounding countryside.
