Bubbled Matter

'Bubbled Matter' makes the invisible element air visible. It aims to confine air to visualize a breath. To achieve this, exhaled air is captured in glass bubbles and stacked into a collection of coffee tables.

Two techniques are combined: glassblowing and slumping, where flat glass is usually heated to collapse over a mold. The innovative aspect of this approach is that the air bubbles are sealed airtight, defying the 'laws of nature' in glassblowing. As a result, the bubbles do not collapse or break during the slumping process and are fused together. An interplay of hot air and expansion
