The “SLAG” Series

Slag, or slag glass cullet, refers to waste or leftover glass fragments—often with colorful, marbled, or opaque patterns—created during the glassmaking or metal smelting process. Under the lens of photography, slag glass cullet becomes more than an object — it’s a study in light, texture, and transformation. Each fragment, with its layered opacity and unpredictable marbling, acts like a miniature landscape. When photographed close-up or under directional light, the glass reveals a geological depth reminiscent of stone, ice, or molten earth. The irregular surfaces catch and refract light, creating subtle gradients and reflections that shift with every angle.

The artworks exhibit remarkable depth, inviting viewers to explore the subtle details within the layers of glass. The textures range from smooth and glossy to rough and organic, evoking a sense of movement and fluidity. The careful manipulation of light enhances the colors, creating a luminous quality that shifts with the viewer’s perspective. From the bold contrasts of warm and cool tones to the delicate patterns formed by bubbles and organic elements, each piece in the SLAG collection tells a distinct story. This collection is a captivating addition to any space, offering a unique visual experience that enriches the atmosphere and sparks conversation.
