VENUS IN A FUNCTIONAL OBJECT
Classical artworks, such as this torso, are not commonly seen adorning the modern home. Taking advantage of the natural light-transmitting properties of cast glass, Venus in a Functional Object is a creative attempt to reintroduce the traditional sculpture in the form of a modern object.
