Flight Unbound

A graceful bird takes center stage in this fused glass composition, its wings outstretched as if caught mid-flight. This bird was cut out of copper foil, then soldered on a clear and blue piece of glass. The delicate metal inclusion gives form to the bird’s sweeping motion, while linear accents suggest movement through open space. Scattered flecks of blue punctuate the background, hinting at sky and freedom, contrasting beautifully with the neutral tones and subtle textures within the glass.

This artwork speaks to themes of release, transformation, and the courage to move forward. Ideal for display on a stand or shelf, it offers a moment of quiet inspiration, inviting reflection on personal journeys and the beauty of liberation.

This is a unique technique which makes this piece extraordinary.
